Archimedes 2010

[Mark McLeod]

Archimedes looks like fun!

358 & 359 get to play together for the very first time!

[Alex Dinsmoor]

Medes is once again going to be a blast this year! Being 201's third year strait in it, we are definitely excited to play in this incredibly stacked field!

Since Archimedes is always the most spirited of the divisions, I think I will start out the famous chant...

It's our third time in Atlanta since 2005 and our third time in Archimedes. The competition is going to be FIERCE!

What really scares me is that 103,25, 148 could be one powerhouse alliance in this field. For those of you who don't know about the legacy of 25 and 103, they paired up 3 times to win the NJ regional together, and once in Florida. Every time, they were a huge powerhouse.

[Dhananjay T.]

It looks like we couldn't hit Galileo for the fourth year in a row.
Looking forward to the fun down in Atlanta

Looks like 176's second year on Archi. Excited to see we're with quite a few friends from last year as well. Should be a great field.

If this stays anywhere close to the way it is now, I think this is going to be the most competitive sets of elimination round that I've ever seen if people pick em right. I mean in this division there are so many teams that dominated regional events pretty darn close to 24 if they get together, it's going to be pretty close to the apocalypse. I'd say if you can get out this divison, you get figure out how to beat 1114 and 469, if of course these aspects of the divisions don't stray much from the present. Off the top of my head we have: 25, 33, 71, 148, 254, 330, 341, 359, 1918. Wow! Just wow. ..234, 375, 1124, 103 It's going to be mere insanity figuring out strategies to get through each and every match.

[kjolana1124]

Well, one thing's for sure. We're not gonna be bored this year xD I'm actually really excited how intense it is. Makes every win sweeter and every match all the more fun. Let's make Archimedes the most covered field on NASA this year!

[fireyoshi]

Team 3411 CAN NOT wait to compete in Archimedes in our whirwind rookie year! I can't wait to experience the athmosphere of a FIRST world championship. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Brazilian team.

[NC GEARS]

1918 is ready to rock sounds like a great match up, should be a ton of fun

Similar to what I did in previous years, I ran through 200 simulated qualification match schedules (all 144 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.

I have never seen the FIRST data analyzed like this before, and I must say it's really cool!

If you don't mind, what did you use to simulate all of the match data?

The same program that FIRST uses: http://www.idleloop.com/matchmaker/
