Make your Champs predictions!

FIRST General Forum

Hey CD,
As you all obviously know, divisions came out today, so I thought it would be fun for everyone to make predictions and to see if anyone can guess the winning alliance! Rules: you must state your three teams of the winning alliance from each division and then state your Einstein winning Alliance.
Here are mine:
Archimedes:254, 987, 78
Curie:67, 2056, 4564
Galileo:1114, 118, 3481
Newton:1986, 195, 217

Curie beats Archimedes
Galileo beats Newton

Galileo beats Curie in the finals for the second straight year

Have fun with this!

Edit: I’m obviously horrible at picking upsets :stuck_out_tongue:

2

I predict that a tornado won’t hit the Jones Dome.

3

Agree with most of that… No 148 for Curie?

Newton and Galileo will be an awesome set of matches…

4

I have them as alliance captains of the 2nd seed with 1717 and 230.

5

Archimedes: 469, 987, 1714(1st seed)
Curie: 2056, 148, 4564(1st seed)
Galileo: 1114, 1477, 2338(2nd seed)
Newton: 1986, 195, 2789(1st seed)

A vs C = A
G vs N = N

A vs N = A

First time since 2006 that Archimedes wins the big one with 469, 987, 1714.

6

Any predictions about 353

7

Archimedes: 254-469-2415 (I can hope, can’t I?)
Galileo: 118-1114-4334 (2/3 of the Eh team, called the e team)
Newton: 1986-1538-4451 (This division is a tossup)
Curie: 2056-67-3489 (the most reasonable of these picks).

Let’s see how wrong I am.

8

Archimedes:
469-254-314

Curie:
2056-67-968

Galileo:
118-1114-2809

Newton
1986-1538-190

A d. C 3 matches
G d. N

A d. G 3 matches.

9

Newton= 1986 2471 ???

10

You know things must be bad when you see the safety judges run out of their seats in the crowd…

Anyway, to make a bold, edgy prediction: 2056 will not be number one seed in their division.
At most, 2/4 of the Einstein alliances will have a Full Court Shooter

11

Archimedes: 254-469-840
Curie: 67-2056-2168
Newton: 1986-225-1511
Galileo: 118-1114-125

Archimedes beats Curie
Galileo beats Newton

Galileo beats Archimedes

These alliances are so closely matched, especially in auton and climb points, and I’m seeing the difference being made simply because the alliances which rely on fcs are getting blocked.

12

Galileo v. Archimedes will go to a third match.

That’s all I got. Picking teams makes me seem like a silly fanboy.

13

Galileo: 118-1114-4334 (2/3 of the Eh team, called the e team)

With Texas in there I think it’d be “howd-eh”

14

What is this, I don’t even :smiley:

15

My prediction is no pure FCS will be on Einstein(I’ve said this since week 1). Teams will need to be more flexible in where they shoot from if they want to make it past division elims.

16

I think the right pure full court shooter could definitely make it to Einstein as a third robot to a high alliance. I think you’re correct about them being ineffective as the main scorer to an alliance, but as a defensive magnet, I think the FCS role is a viable strategy (assuming they aren’t too top heavy, and can be consistent with their hang points).

My prediction is that all four einstien alliances will have at least one robot capable of full court shooting (EG. A987/469, G118, C67, N225/2826).

17

Are you saying that being a silly fan boy is a problem? :wink:

Also, Einstein finals haven’t gone to 3 matches since 2007 i believe, just an interesting fact.

18

Hey, so this is our team’s first time at champs and I’m just trying to figure out how intense the competition is…

Anyone know 'bout where a 3 or 4 cycle pyramid shooter with a 10 point hang and 18 pt auto would rank ??? (That looks to be the average elims bot to me)

19

Agreed, however, the right full court shooter with the right counter-defender can be a devestating combination. Don’t count out full court shooters as point scorers yet!

20

A: 254/987/694 over 33/469
C: 67/2056/3539 over 1717/148
G: 1114/610/1241 over 118/111
N: 1986/341/175 over 1538/2054

C over A
G over N

C over G in 3
