Archimedes 2013!!!

[M.O'Reilly]

I haven't been to the CMP in about 5 years. Last time I came there were maybe 70 teams in each division. Because there are almost 100 per division, is it likely that a Cinderella team or two seeds in the top 8 due to match schedule? Has this been the case recently since the divisions became so inflated (discounting 2010, of course)?

My reasoning: only ~8-10 matches per team, means a maximum of 20 alliance partners and 30 opponents. This samples only 50% of the field, max. That is to say, with a favorable match schedule, there's hope for the little guy to make elims... even the rookies! Go underdogs!

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.

MOE 365 has a few 5-disc auto routines going for the center discs. Looking to pair up with an "under the pyramid" 7-disc auto and a 3-disc sharpshooter to put up a cool 90 point auto.

Can't wait!

To quote tim-tim from earlier this season "THIS IS GONNA BE AWESOME!"

Archimedes is going to be action packed.

Anyone know how many 30 point climbers there are?

[P.J.]

Anyone know who is FTAing this field? That's what I want to know

[Marjory Frosty]

I believe we have Jerry Budd, as of right now, they have moved FTA's after the fact before. Since we can't have Rob, he's a good one to have.

Having worked with Jerry before, I would be very happy if that stayed that way. He is a great FTA and runs a good show.

How about MC/Announcing?

You read my mind, I was wondering about Rob

I counted six from the "30 Pt Climb Club" thread: 254, 836, 1448, 1714, 2705, 3467.

And 1334.
