If that be true, then why are posts removed from the thread?

We constantly ask for a more transparent communication with FIRST. That requires respect and maturity on our side.

If you guys are/were just guessing - fine - but if you were snooping and tracking down the info before it was ready to be officially released, that's pretty darn tacky.

No offense Jane, but when you have thousands of excited smart kids they are going to find stuff. If FIRST really wanted to keep this information out of the hands of the public they should not have put it on a public website. This has been a problem for the last few years and I don't hold any fault with the kids using their smarts in a legal way to get info they want.

Bill's blog said that the divisions are subject to change so this is all just speculation until they are on FIRST's main page.

I would be surprised if they don't mix it up based on this, just to mess with us.

Well, it's probably exacerbated this year by the fact that they usually release the divisons by now. I think everyone's just excited and a little impatient. Nice to see kids excited about something other than when the latest Twilight movie is coming out.

I am just waiting for all of this to be fake, and we all find out that this was all invalid information. This probably was released so they could drive us nuts with only a couple people of knowing the real information. It's just like a game hint, just not as exciting.

If there's a pattern, could you tell us please?

All posts removed from the thread were part of a subtle joke orchestrated by Alex Corimer.

Gotta comment on this since snooping around websites is sort of a hobby of mine.

If FIRST, or anyone, puts a page out on a server and thinks that not having links to access it is a viable way of protecting it they are asking for that page to be found. If they really cared they would have secured the page properly. ANYTHING you put out online in an unsecured manner is fair game. Nothing illegal about accessing a page that you have access to. Security through obscurity is a bad idea.

Now, if someone had decided to break through the security and access the files THAT is illegal. To my knowledge that did not happen though.

They're just waiting for 469 and 1114 to try and beat them.

Oh Alex...do you not remember this joke?

46 is EVERYWHERE.

I'm just trying to add to the random pointlessness.

I would be surprised if these didn't change. Although I don't know if I want them to, the competition on Archimedes is bound to be intense!

This might be more convenient - lists all teams, sorted by division.
