This is only a list of the teams who have done a triple balance that counts so far this season.

My thought as well. We were able to triple more than once with 3 long base bots on the practice field (long base sideways/mecanum/long base), just didn't replicate during the match.

I've very pleased to see the spread of talent through all the divisions. Should make for exciting elimination matches/alliance selections!

Looks like 67 and 469 won't play together again until the post-season.

As did the MAR Champions:

25 - Galileo
341 - Curie
1640 - Newton

EDIT: Looks like they are being added, so some are blank still.

MERRRRRRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

If the #1, #2 and #24 from each division pair up the OPR's added together are:
Arch Curie Gal Newton
100.4 96.9 86.7 111.2

[PayneTrain]

Newton looks like the "best division" overall, but the CMP winner will probably bubble out of Archimedes.

This is wrong. 1717 did not balance at all in CVR Elims. In fact they have a negative bridge OPR, as such I highly doubt that they will be part of a triple. 1717 makes up for this by just being an incredible shooter!

Eh, they seem like the kind of team who is always improving. I wouldn't assume previous outcome equal to future outcome.

1717 co-op bridged with us very easily.

They also have what is functionally the same exact drive as us (eerily similar considering their independent development).

We've done multiple triples with ease, and they have more ground clearance along with a better driver. If 1717 wants to triple at champs, they can.

Also, we were supposed to coop with them at LA. First match, they were not working due to comm issues(FMS problems, not them). We got a rematch, and then we got comm issues. So the balance didn't happen. They can definitely balance. I've even heard the reason they chose to not double in CVR finals, was because they felt they could score more than 10(which came out to be true). Furthermore, they can turn their wheels sideways so that they act like brakes.

Anyone else notice Da Vinci as a playing field on the list with the FRC fields? Last I checked, there isn't a Da Vinci field.

Can they be wide? Check.
Can they drive? Check.

Those two things pretty much assure that they COULD be part of a triple balance.

Not saying it's going to happen or that it's in their best interest to do it...but, they definitely can be part of a triple balance.

Did anyone else open the mobile championship website that was on Bill's Blog on a laptop, then went to playing fields? Because on there with the four divisions and Einstein is da Vinci. Is it a new field that's coming soon, or a FTC/FLL field?

da Vinci is the division name used for FTC. da Vinci is broken into Edison and Franklin divisions, IIRC.

Einstein is used for FLL competition until it's needed for FRC eliminations. Then it gets the 12-member Einstein division, with fixed alliances and losses dropping you out of contention. (Einstein can expand to 16--but that's never happened.)
