This is going to be the most exciting division, In my opinion, not just because 1902 is it in. But because to the depth of teams. I will be here in Orlando rooting and cheering my heart out.

OINK OINK BOOM

[ttldomination]

I agree. The depth of this division is simply fascinating. I'm not interested in the 2nd picks this year than I am about the 1st picks, simply because there are so many teams to pick from.

I would like to extend a heartfelt congratulations to FRC Team 2775, lead through a terrific competition experience by Greg Needel. There are moments in our personal histories with FIRST that are stand-outs for us. Watching 2775 was a stand-out moment for me, knowing that so many teams have been inspired by these rookies and how some helped them along the road to Championship. Also knowing that there is great opportunity for growth and development of FIRST teams in Tennessee and the impact that this rookie team is having and will continue to have by inspiring the people they meet, encourage, and help in their region. It was really something special to be able to follow you guys through the season. Congratulations on a job well done.

I would also like to give a shout out to Gatorzilla out of Dickinson, Texas. You made us proud! I can't wait to see what you do next year. Seriously.

Rookies rocked this year in FRC. That's the truth.

I agree Jane- Greg kept telling me all weekend how he was reallty happy to play us in division. And he did- and kicked our butts!!!

well at least we were beaten by friends-- if your friends cant beat you then who should? (wait- that sounds wrong?)

They did great (but we'll get em next time ; ) )

I must say that the finals on Galileo were amazing and the finals on Einstein were epic! I'd like to send a thank you to our fellow teams in Galileo, that was an amazing division to be a part of! Congrats to 111, 67, 971! Way to go 971 for representing the West Coast and even better representing California! Hope we get to see a lot of you at IRI.

[Nica F.]

I google mapped all the teams in the Galileo division, see it here:

Galileo Google Map

Great to see a great variety of teams! Some from Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Israel! Surprisingly none from Canada though. I made it editable by anyone, so feel free to move your team in your exact locations and add a little additional info, I just put the teams in their cities that they provided on the FIRST site.

Similar to what I did last year, I ran through 200 simulated qualification match schedules (all 102 matches, using the FIRST match generator). I used each team's average opr for their contribution to a match. I calculated the standings for each of the 200 simulated qualification schedules, and then looked at some statistics from the aggregate results.

When I went back and looked at last year's data, a team finished within 1 standard deviation of their average seed 60% of the time, and within 2 standard deviations 95% of the time. Only 3 teams seeded higher/lower then their min/max seed.

I'm hoping to not be seated that far down 1270 is hoping to turn a few heads. We have been working very hard on everything we could, we got the bot working at the end of the Buckeye so our averages are way down from where we are hoping to be. This is a stacked division this year, I haven't been on Galileo since 2003.......... Good luck to everyone!! I know I'm looking forward for some intense matches.

Team 1270
Red Dragons

Shooter 0-10' range
Shooter pivots 45 degrees left and right 90 degrees total
Hold 15-18 Orbit balls
We have been working on a scoring autonomous mode

Joe, would you be so kind as to do this for Curie also? And I'm sure the other divisions wouldn't mind.

(Re 1->81) So basically, we could be anywhere. Looking forward to it!

Short description:
IRS Team 1318
Power Dumper, serpentine ball path
OR 7-0-0 in Quals, 1st Seed, Champions
WA 8th Overall Selection - Semifinalist, 13th seed

We scored in autonomous at least 3 times, and have lined up enough to score in the first 5 seconds at least 3 other times.

Please describe your robot.

It has already been said but wow this is going to be an amazing field! Can't wait! To be honest I think this division is so deep with quality that making predictions of elimination outcomes is just going to go out the window. I suspect epic matches, and predict amazing plays.

With so many good teams playing during qualifications, you guys think that this year especially, that there's a chance for a mediocre robot who got paired up with great partners each match to be ranked #1? I don't know if its happened before at the Championship, I know it happens at regionals, but how bout at the big show?

I'd say it's possible, however, I've never been to a championship before (I'm a freshman). But I bet it could happen. I doubt it would bring them to #1 but i can imagine the top 8. It's still unlikely.
