Divisions are out!!

Competition Championship Event
1

Hey all, FIRST has finally posted the division each team is in. Check it out on their site: http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/FMPro?-db=team%20events.fp5&-lay=web&-format=team_list.htm&event=CMP&event%20year=2003&status=signed%20up&-sortfield=team%20id&-max=all&-find.

[BTW: FIRST was once again predictable in their divisional assignments: Curie, Newton, Galileo, Archimedes | Curie, Newton, Galileo, Archimedes | etc :slight_smile: ]

[BTW: You can see a list of teams for each division (directly from FIRST’s site) by clicking on one of the following links: Curie, Newton, Galileo, Archimedes]

Sparky will be in Archimedes along with MOE, where will everyone else be?

This might be a stupid question, but say a team qualified this weekend and went to the championship, would it shift everyone down, and put everyone in a different division.

4

I’m in Galileo!

Along with the Technokats!

(I loved team 45 - their treads were always so awesome :smiley: )

To make things easy I pasted the list into Excel and sorted by division. I’ll attach it to this post.

Very well could be, due to the method used to determine divisional assignments–just a 1,2,3,4 down the list. However, if I remember correctly, last year FIRST didn’t alter the division a team was placed in once they were released. Teams qualifying for the nationals after divisions were released simply got added to a division convenient in the eyes of FIRST.

[BTW: Hello Newton teams. How are ya?]

Beatty, Kingman, Baxter Bomb Squad, among many others…

…including 48 Delphi E.L.I.T.E.

Should be an exciting division to watch!

Don’t forget 343, I’m looking forward to seeing them in action!

FIRST hit the nail right on the head with these divisions. They seem to be almost dead even! Judging from what I see, some key autonomous races to the top I would love to see…

Archimedes: 157 vs. 111

Curie: 25 vs. 121, 16 vs. 126,

Galileo: 312 vs 175, and just about anyone else in that division!

Newton: 27 vs 173, 254 vs 67.

And thats just to name a few!

12

Sweet!! 1077 is in the Galileo division. We pulled of Galileo Division champ’s in 2001 with 59. Maybe we can pull it off this year as well. This is going to be fun!

Team 157 is also in Archimedes

14

Hellllo Galileo!

The last time we were in Galileo (2001) we were divisional runner up and #1 seed, so hopefully we will continue the lucky streak there and go farther.

Also, I believe Joel is right, divisions won’t change. The qualifiers will just be added on. I think this is what happened in 2002, or thats what FIRST planned on doing in 2002

15

Woooo 461 is in galileo…along with 45 and 68…and 217 and 108…supar sweetness:)

17

Archimedes isn’t looking to shabby, either. 47, 65, 111, 201 (shameless plug, I know),365, 469. It’ll be some good competition…

18

if we still havent heard from the waiting list on whether we are in, what chances do you guys think there are of teams still being admitted?
