I wish NASA would archive the Lone Star Regional. Y'all should check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtp2s5F9uAc This was the Dallas regional we greatly improved our robot for the lone star regional.

I'm excited as hell about this year for Atlanta. My dream alliance is 67, 71 (or 111) and us as a third partner.

GALI-!

A lot of people want to be that third partner, I'm sure.
I'm really looking forward to the webcasts!

Even more than any other division, Galileo will be won during alliance selections.

I actually have to agree with Looking Forward in a sense that pairings are going to be super crucial. I myself put together an excel sheet and noticed that ~25 teams have a higher match loss total than match win total and didn't make it into eliminations in at least one event.

But at the same time, I believe that Galileo won't be won during alliance selections and I won't be surprised if there are upsets in Eliminations. I think its going to be very very intense. I am predicting a lot of dark horses in our division and a lot of break ups in alliance pairing....

ATL in 2 days guys, GET EXCITED!

All I'm sure of is that everything on Galileo will be fun to watch, especially the eliminations!

I completely agree with this, in elimination pairing many teams that rank higher than 67 and 71 and even 111 will be looking to split them up in any way that they can. And no I don't think any of those three will rank first, I think the #1 seed could go to anyone who had a good line of matches, there will be a lot of qualifyers where teams that have been amazing lose due to a no show partner. And because of the upsets that will most likely happen, eliminations are going to be extremely close and almost anyones game. But then again 67, 71 or 111 could seed 1st and make a dream team alliance. But then again, there are so many other alliances that could be formed in this division that could eliminate 67/71 alliance, just look at 1114 and 71 at midwest. And this feild will be just about as deep in eliminations dues to the heavy top tier.

And 744 will begin flying in 20 hours, give or take.
