One team I'd add under sleepers in Galileo is 2337.

Galileo has a great abundance of good sleeper teams that under the right situations bring the giants in the division back to earth.
When you look at teams like 111, 2169, 1477, 610, 447, 3284, etc. it's really hard to predict who will win, given the snake draft.

While being incontinent would be a horrible distraction, I can't imagine that would cause them to fall that far. Or do you mean they will lose their discs when they don't want to?

(Sorry, I couldn't help it. It was teed up too nicely.)

Chris, you beat me to it. Just added adult diapers to the "take to CMP" list. Old guys FTW!!!

Meredith,

Leave the Pampers in Mountain Home. Team 16 would be one of the ideal teams in Curie due the Bomb Squad's World Famous drivetrain. This puts you all in a spot to become the premier team to become an Orlando Pace for any Full Court Shooter. Team 16 also is a very capable offensive bot, but it does have some inconsistencies(see post above.) I can't wait to see you all next week and I'm sorry if I scared you at all.

Baxter has a great robot that deserves to be picked higher, but they do a few things that can scare teams. They will lose a disk sometimes after they load. Their climb sometimes will not count if they have a disk loaded up.
They have also been one of the few teams that I have ever seen(except for maybe 233) to make a large amount of drastic changes to their robot throughout the year. This impressive feat shouldn't harm them but it has hurt in terms of getting their robot to its usual HOF quality during the season. If they fall to the second round again watch out. They still shoot well but they are not an elite shooter in terms of accuracy. *I want to add that Team 16 is a terrific team that helped to make the Razorback Regional a major success. These problems in this post will more than likely be overcome next week by championships.

We are currently working on our "incontinent" robot with some big changes we are implementing for the world championship.

JT... is that _really nice_ tank of yours still intact? Or is it missing relevant parts that _may be_ helpful at CHAMPS?

;-)

P.S. Looking forward to saying "Hi" to you and your family! Can you believe our good fortune to catch a wait-list spot?!! First 3 seasons in FRC = 3 CHAMPS... THANKS to you guys for starting us off in 2011!! --MB

WAT? Are you sure...

Incontinent: Having no or insufficient voluntary control over urination or defecation.

*Edit: Beaten to it...

Finally! Somebody picked us in Curie! Thanks!

Agree with most of that... No 148 for Curie?

Newton and Galileo will be an awesome set of matches...

I have them as alliance captains of the 2nd seed with 1717 and 230.

[dodar]

Archimedes: 469, 987, 1714(1st seed)
Curie: 2056, 148, 4564(1st seed)
Galileo: 1114, 1477, 2338(2nd seed)
Newton: 1986, 195, 2789(1st seed)

A vs C = A
G vs N = N

A vs N = A

First time since 2006 that Archimedes wins the big one with 469, 987, 1714.

353 will not be as lucky with the schedule in St. Louis as they were at Hofstra.
