You're telling me. 217, 1114, and the ENTIRE L.A. Winning Alliance. Throw about 2 doses of Martians in there with Las Guerillas, Raider Robotix, and Cybersonics and then Divi[de] by Zero. Leaves you with Rhode Warriors, Checkmate, Delphi E.L.I.T.E., Huskie Brigade, Robowranglers, Cyber Blue, and Cheesy Poofs. Just to name a few... (The ones most will recognize...)

At least two teams in the division were on Einstein last year, but left in the semis.

How many of the "super" teams will be around for a late 3rd round pick? I'm guessing not many.

An awesome 2 bot tandem is more than likely, but whoever can get the 'steal' of the draft will come out on top.

Agreed, but i cant wait to see the finals in this division anyway, some pretty awesome matches could result from so many elite teams in one place.

Odd, FIRST has a count of 341 teams, but TBA has 342. Add in the fact that the link for viewing the individual lists on the championship page is still unavailable and I'm forced to wonder if these divisions are truly official?

This is going to be fun.

Just a few notable teams here:

25, 40, 115, 148, 217, 234, 254, 330, 1114, 1717

It's going to be INTENSE on Galileo!!

elims in gallieo are going to be some major major major HIGH SCORING matches, barely any of the teams there will be interested in defense I reckon

if past years methods continue than the remaining 3 teams will be added in to divisions, and no more shuffling will occur.

686 was dropped from the FIRST list, not sure who added. Either way it was a Bovine Intervention on the latter half of the list.
