heh... sorry about that! i haven't been following all the regionals, this is just from what i've seen (at LA and SD) or from sanddrag whenever he decides to tell us about other 'bots... haha...

Oh this is so cool, it's still missing some teams though (to let some know). Mainly because yes, confirmation of a team's attendance is past due, paying the registration fee isn't, so the ones who haven't paid, aren't up there yet. Like us.

[Travis Hoffman]

Curie is going to be fun! "Eclectic and hectic", indeed.

[Nawaid Ladak]

if i was to rate them this is how it would go

Curie
Galileo
Newton
Archemedes

He's from Earth. I know, because 696 and 330 both made it to both sets of finals in Southern California.

Now, who is 1503? (I kid, I kid--They were one of the Triplet teams, weren't they? If not, then I don't kid...)

67, 111, 1114, 330, 118, 16, 48, 60, 234...the list goes on. (lots of other good teams, these just seem to be the best few--no particular order.)

111 is in Newton, with 399 (finalists at Philly), 1124 (winners of UTC), 177, 181 (winners of Philly), and 375 (finalists at NYC) to name a few...


And...

3 of the 5 Israeli teams are in Newton...

I would put an eye on 1574 and 1657
They both have great robots!

[The Lucas]

It is like they used the scheduler randomizer to pick the divisions. Most of the time it goes 1, 2, 3 ,4 and you get the partners you expect, but every once in a while there is a hiccup (and you go again with one match rest ). I can't help but think this is some curveball Dave made up to keep Division selections interesting.

[Tom Bottiglieri]

RPI and video links, coming tonight. Hopefully. Depends how much coding I can get done before HW starts owning me.

Don't forget about GLR Champs 573, their in there too and I've heard that they're really good!

[Madison]

Here's hoping we can take care of all of Galileo's lifting needs.

Please form two lines and wait your turn, thanks.

111 isn't in Curie

[Corey Balint]

I actually really like these divisions...they all seem to have a balance of power.

[ALIBI]

Awesome! Will FIRST make any kind of annoucement stating that these are the official, not subject to change divisions? So much for 1, 2, 3, 4 .... assignments.
