Don't forget 469, 987, and the very good 948 FCS.

OH MY GAWD! Imagine if that was our alliance... only a team with bee killer spray could beat us.

Now if only Buzz was in Archimedes...

Comparing divisions, Archimedes looks like it will have the most competitive elims alliances......note the hump out to the 10th ranked team.
Looks like Newton has a pretty big gap to the other 3 divisions.
Still, lots of great teams in all 4 sections.
Should be great!

1519's also a full-court shooter. We've proven to be a reliable 2pt FCS (with only ~50% accuracy in 3pt goal) with a strong drivetrain for getting into and out of the feed corner.

Since North Carolina, we've been making a variety of improvements (that - in true MAYHEM fashion - we're still finishing) that should increase both our scoring potential and reliability/accuracy... Currently working on improving our climber, shooter accuracy into the 3pt goal, and flexibility of shooting positions.

Looking forward to playing with plenty of allies & friends while also making many more! Archimedes certainly looks to be a strong division, boasting one of the biggest top tiers (as Jim Zondag pointed out) and some of the finest multi-disc autos!

FRC 2468 Team Appreciate has been labeled the entire year as a FCS. We like to label ourselves as an All Court Shooter (2 or 3

We have definitely focused on the FCShot especially the 2pter at Hub City and Alamo although we did shoot some at the 3pter at Alamo.

We have been working on tweaking the 3pter as well as shooting from different locations to get these shots off.

Mobility has been important to our shooting all year rather than camp and shoot.

Wow this will be fun! Great to be playing with some old and hopefully new friends! 1519, 78, and 126 woot woot!

3467 is extremely excited to be playing in Archimedes and after a fun weekend at Pine Tree, we can't wait to get back on the field and up that pyramid with Skip5.3!!!

Funny how Archimedes is the division with the fastest 30 point climber on the East Coast (3467) 18secs* and the West Coast (254) 7secs!

*Still shaving away time before STL.

interesting division to say the least.

lots of MAR teams and lots of MSC teams and lots of West coast teams...

very well setup I believe as a division. It is a deep field.

Early tweaking on the following teams, 2 midline autonomous teams (987, 469) and 3 7 disc autonomous (2590, 254, 33) teams should provide for a very interesting setup.

Potentially having two alliances with a 15 disc autonomous.... which would creating an interesting battle for midline discs..

should be fun, should be interesting.

time to start tweaking our strategy for the division .

We have done 7 frisbees in autonomous as well.

Excited to see you and 11 in the same division Sean.

This division's strategy is going to be very interesting, there is a large crop of top tier intake bots, probably going to see teams trying to setup 90 point auto alliances. It will be interested to see, given the top intake bots pair up, what they decide to go with for their final pick. A FCS to load them up with discs? A cycler, because there is a good crop of solid and consistent cyclers? Or perhaps one of the climbers that may even have a dump in their back pocket? Alliance selections are going to be very interesting and it looks like a lot of really good robots aren't going to be playing past lunch on Saturday, it is going to be a dog fight to scrap into the elimination rounds. I cannot wait.

Couldn't have said it better.
