Galileo Teams

[omutton]

Galileo This a thread for all of us Galileo teams! This looks like a pretty good division, and there are 5 Canadian teams!

I see Galileo teams winning it all.. but thats just a guess.

The team line up is crazy, the top 8 teams I Think are going to be undefeated or only lose 1 match. I cant wait to see all of you in the Pits, and remember that If you need anything drop by the MOE 365 pit and ask. Just look for the 30ft green tower..

Good luck to everyone whos going.

[Bridgette]

I'm really excited to be competing against such great teams. I look forward to working with many of you!

After having a night to reflect on it, if we have 8 matches per team, I think there will be 2 or 3 undefeated teams, and the remainder of the top 8 will have 1 loss. If we have 10 matches per team, only 1 will be undefeated and the 8th team will only have 8 wins (2 losses or ties). This division is too deep with talent to expect any team to easily remain undefeated.

Do not be surprised if the lower 4 alliances "upset" the top four alliances in the playoffs (as happened in Philly a few years back). This depth of talent ensures that the playoff alliances will not only be very strong, but also very equal. Scouting will have a difficult task placing teams in the preferred order to choose partners in the playoffs, because we will have about 5-6 very elite robots, followed by about 18-20 top tier robots.

One thing's for sure . . .

Yeah - wasn't that Stack Attack and the top four all lost in the quarters and semis? I was thinking that there are so many really good teams in Galileo (and Archimedes, for that matter) that it might be hard to put together one truly dominant alliance. I figure there are the makings of at least three great alliances. The best part is: that should make for some outstanding matches throughout the week.

Not only 5 Canadian Teams, but a dual Champion in 1305 Near North. One of three dual Champions in the Division, along with 68 Pontiac MI, and 126 Clinton MA. A lot of DEEP playoff experience in Gali-LEO!

According to Karthik's analysis, we are the second strongest division. I do not see as many undefeated teams as Kyle does, but anything can happen. Whatever happens, it should be fun!

Oh, and we're in the same division as MOE again! Woo!

Daniel, I wouldn't mind at all finishing like the last time we paired up in the Championships!!

I was at both regionals, so I can tell you that 56 and 103 were the two really scary teams among those that went to Philly and/or Trenton. I don't know about the teams from other regions, but I'd put money on one or both of these teams winning the division.

Woo! this is gonna be a tough competition for my team lol. Good luck everyone and I'm planning to giveaway my shirts to only this division.

[JDizzle]

Looks like a very strong division laden with Jersey teams. I look forward to seeing some great matches and superb performances from all the NJ teams.

Looks like we have a great division. Looks like 114 is going to be next to Cybersonics in the pits for the second year in a row.

Another star team in our division that hasn't been mentioned yet is 254. They were dominant at Sacromento and Silicon Valley. Look foreward to seeing everyone at Atlanta, I think our division has a good shot at the Championship.

Ready to go to Galileo, getting out music by Queen for the competition.
Can't wait to see how well everyone does, looks like some tough competition headed our way.

Peachtree alliance is going to have to represent. That is 801, 281, and 1261. Its going to be a great division, I cant wait to see you all there!
