Newton Discussion - Championship 2007

[dangerousdave]

Alright, now that the official divisions have been posted, let's discuss the division where the FRC Championship competition champions will originate.

We are happy to have local friends of ours from GA in our division: 1311 (Kell High), 1746 (Forsyth Alliance) and friends from SC 1102 (M'Aiken Magic). One of the 4 Peachtree competition champions, 1369 (Middleton Magnet High School) are here. I have some personal friends also on Newton, one of the Israel competition champions 1574 (Iscar & Misgav). Of course there is also the perennial favorite 111 (Wildstang) also.

340 will be playing in Newton this year. Also Representing Rochester will be 1511. 316 Looked strong at FLR as a good lifter. Wildstang is always a threat as well. Newton does not seem to be as much of a powerhouse as some of the other divisions but we shall see. I'm pumped!

It looks like its a fun division.

I'll have the MARRS data for the teams that attended either Wisconsin or Buckeye up shortly.

I am very happy to be in the same division as another close team! 340 and 1511 will show FIRST what Rah-Cha-Cha can do!

[Richard Wallace]

148 is a very good tube scorer.

1444 has a solid robot with excellent traction and a good arm. Can go offense or defense. Did not lose a match at St. Louis.

1985 is a strong rookie team with good ramps, and they can hang a few tubes also.

102 is really looking forward to being in Newton =] We are thrilled to have some great teams in this devision. Only a week remains!!! Can't wait to see everyone.

Thanks for the vote of confidence in our little hanger bot! We are looking forward to sharing the experience of the Championships with all the other Newton teams. Be it by offering scouting assistance, technical assistance, crowd support or simply hanging tubes, we will do our best to help Newton lead to Einstein! For those who want to learn a little about our robot, V squared, check out the following links from the quarter finals at Pitt, No one came near us thanks to 48 and 222**, the beauty of a good defense with a capable hanger:

Yet another team that made us nervous, one of THE defensive powerhouses of 2007... We would love to ramp them, instead we got to see their alliance squeak out the win in Pitt. See link for a pic:
