Hey all,
Just starting this thread to discuss Carson and say hello to eachother.
A quick glance, as someone from the Midwest, there proves to be many teams that are going to have an impact both on and off the field. I’m sure I missed a few! And good job on getting the Highest average OPR guys @110.45
Well, it would appear as if fate has put us on the same field for a 2nd year in a row
Curie playoffs were nuts last year, and it looks like it will be nuts this year too, but Carson on the other hand…
Team 2052 KnightKrawler is excited to Krawl back to Carson for a second year in a row! Looks like a competitive division with a ton of familiar faces from Minnesota events and past championship divisions. Here’s a shout-out to some special teams we’ve seen in the past:
**195 **- We competed in 2013 Newton and ran into each other during quarters. We ran into each other again during Einstein quarters last year! Very fun competing against you guys, but we would rather would be with the CyberKnights than go against you this time around.
**341 **- We competed back in 2013 Newton. As a drive coach, I still remember the match we were in together during 2052’s first year at champs that year. Excited to see Team Daisy again.
**876 **- I always watch to see what Thunder Robotics will do at Northern Lights. Glad to have the opportunity to compete with one of the North Dakota powerhouses.
**1816 **- What a coincidence the oldest Minnesota teams get in the same division. Let’s represent MN! Good luck to you guys!
**3538 **- Excited to be in the same division as our 2016 Carson alliance partners again. Hoping for another Einstein run!
**4198 **- Re-united with our 2015 wildcard Robocat-buddies once again!
**4539 **- Big shoutout to our alliance partner from the Lake Superior Regional! Kaotic is a powerhouse.
Overall this looks like a really competitive division with teams like: 33, 68, 125, 195, 341, 876, 1710, 1732, 2451, 3538, 4539, 5024, 5687, and many others. Our students were hoping to get into a stacked division so we could have the opportunity to compete with and learn from other great teams. I’m glad their wishes came true. You can bet our scouters have started scouting already! Good luck to all the teams in Carson! I’m sure it’ll be a blast.
Every time I look up some team in this division that I don’t have much information on, I find out that the team in question has had an excellent season and can score a ton. I’m really looking forward to see a bunch of my favorite teams competing in one division this year.
In particular, 5254’s direct neighbors, 639 will be competing here, with their HVR alliance captains, 2601.
Our SBPLI alliance captain, 1796, will be competing here (ignore their two quarterfinal finishes, they have one of the best robots in this division).
Lastly, my high school team, Team 20 will be competing here with their TVR alliance captains, 195.
Carson is just crazy competitive, with 4 different teams showing off 40kpa autonomous routines, it’ll be interesting to see what alliance selections look like. There are some obvious alliances that could form, but also some less obvious ones that could tear it up.
Team #4539 is extremely excited to participate in Carson this year! It looks like we will be with some of our friends like 2052, 1816, and 4198 and we are looking forward to making new friends at the competition!
We have reinforced our climbing strap and are ready to show our fast cycle times and our great climb rate (28/29 opportunities)…and maybe even play a little defense as needed!
Good luck to all teams and we will see you in a week!
Team 6420 is extremely excited to be one of the few Rookie teams in Carson! We can’t wait to play with some of the best teams in the world
We are very happy that we managed to improve from 52nd (at Iowa) to 5th / 4th alliance captain at Seven Rivers. Our climber improvements were a huge part of that, as was the hours of practice we got on our full wooden practice field.
Just like Zac said, 1073 is excited to play on Carson! It’s great to see our NECMP allaince partners 195 will be on the same field as us.
Can’t wait to play with everyone!
