Looks awesome, and stacked! I count at least 4 excellent hopper autos, and some great cyclers as well.

What is the cheer for Carver?

This is going to be an insanely fun division. Can’t wait to play with everyone next week!

5 out of the 15 Georgia teams are in this division! Glad to represent! :slight_smile:

Woohoo!! The CloverBots are excited to be in this division! There’s a lot of good teams in this division, and it’s going to be fun to compete with some of the top teams from around the world!

On a side note, I counted 11 PNW teams in this division :smiley: It’ll be interesting to see how the Northwest teams do in this division (could we possibly see an all-PNW alliance?).

3238 is poised to seed high and 2471 is a force to be reckoned with.

Also excited to see 179, 971, 987, 1690, 2122, 2974 (5 blue banners :ahh: :ahh:), 3256 (so close!), 3925, 4063, and 4990 (I know one of the founding mentors). We have a lot of extremely high quality teams and I’m sure many us haven’t reached our peak just yet. There will be many diamonds in the rough!

Here are my “power rankings” for teams using the same metrics I’ve been using for FRCTop25 the past few weeks.

Note: Due to the bracketed scoring of rotors, gear contribution is generally underestimated (especially when gear power exceeds 4). Also, the “Combined Power” is clearly arbitrary and is just a baseline for comparing teams, so I use two metrics.

Combined power = (gearContribution / maxGearContribution) + (fuelContribution / maxFuelContribution)

Don’t know how i missed that, corrected now

I am truly excited to be in this division, and as my first time attending the championship. Good luck to all!

I’m super excited to watch this incredible division in person! It will be fun to see which teams and strategies end up on top.

Team Mean Machine has been having a great year so far, and I can’t wait to see how they do. Good luck to all teams competing!

5511 was first pick for finalist appearance at Pitt County.

We put together a little video showcasing our robot’s abilities from the Israel district competitions -

The team is really eager to compete in the most competitive division of the Houston championship.
See everybody in a few days!

3196 was finalist at both the Raleigh event and District State Championship as a first pick.

Great robot! Hope to play with you guys next week. I noticed that your airship didn’t have the awkward rail mounted ‘pulley’ we had to use here in the US to pull gears up to the deck. Wonder how your pilot will handle the change;)

If you won an event I didn’t put you in the finalist group.

Some changes to the original team list for Carver:
Removed 6026
Added 3035

This division should be interesting to watch to say the least. Honestly, I believe that the Houston Champs will be from Carver. While Newton has some strong teams, I think there are teams within Carver who are underrated and could come to Half-Champs as a strong competitor. Especially since they have had time to test and design possibly fixes to previous issues.
