Hypothetically speaking lets just say first added two new divisions as a way for more teams to come to nationals, what do you think they should be named?
not watt, if you want to know the story, ask Ron Partridge.
Kamen and Flowers
Or how about Kepler and Faraday
Maybe Write and Edison
Or maybe for next year, putting Einstein into the mix too.
Liebnitz and Pathagoras ( sp ? on both )
I would assume those would be pretty good ones.
All about Pythagorus!!!
Ohm
Watt-wait, nm, Mike.
Faraday
Volta
Armstrong- (osscilator guy, added a radio coil)
Galvany (sp…?)
Franklin- Oh yeah, the big 100.
And the all important…
Baker
or…
Lavery
Lots of cool names out there. .
Sorry for the flood, I got carried away.
Staying on the Calculus Euler
And from Physics Tesla, hmm i also like Darwin
Faraday!
We need a Faraday Field, i repeate, we need a Faraday Field…
or Coloumb field…
Why don’t we just get into elementary particles and go with Quark Field
Socrates… He was cool in that Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure movie…
But, as you may already know… We already have the Elgin Clock Division (honest, it’s in there!!)
It’s just that…somebody forgot to tell me.
As a computer engineering student I’d like to see a Volta division.
Pascal, Gutenburg, I would be really in favor of Wright or maybe even VanBraun.
A few more…
Copernicus field
Da Vinci field
Strawberry field (they can serve lunch there, while listening to Beatles tunes)
Andy B.
You read my mind on that one Andy. Da Vinci was the man. He had his hands in everything. He was an engineer, mathematician, philosopher, anatomist, geologist, painter, sculptor and architect (Plus a bunch of other things as well). The term “renaissance man” was coined because of him (and a few of his contemporaries).
I mean, he painted the Mona Lisa, and developed theories on hydraulics and gearing. He painted the Last Supper, and designed the first helicopter. His genius was only limited by the time he lived in. Most of his inventions and ideas would only be fully appreciated long after his death.
For more information on some of his inventions go check out: http://www.lib.stevens-tech.edu/collections/davinci/inventions/index.html
For information on his art, go take an art history course. It’s the best way to gain a true appreciation of his impact on his time.
Whenever I think of Da Vinci I’m amazed by the range of his talents. There has never been a more intellectually well rounded person in history. I have a huge respect for anyone with artistic talents as is, but when you combine that greatness with technical savy. Wow.
Da Vinci was simply awesome. One of my old school idols.
/End Karthik’s history rant…
My vote is for (Charlotte) Bronte Field and (Franz) Kafka Field
Be carful baker, the youngins may not understand that one…
seeing as i am a giant star wars geek, how about the Skywalker Field
or (and i am suprised no one said this yet)
The John V-Nuen field
or after he reads this and gets mad,
The Big Mike Memorial Field?
-Big Mike (hiding under my bed)
The Ford Division
The Bell Division
I can see it now…
STU: Well, Harry, here we are at the first FIRWP Championship event, and I gotta tell you, I’m really excited about some of the competition we’ve seen here today.
HARRY: You hit the nail on the head there, Stu. We have seen some great moves, and a lot of great competitors have gone home early.
STU: I just know you’re talking about The Unintelligible Cartoons, a powerhouse team sponsored by The New Yorker Magazine. A team that you told me was going to take it all at this competition, a team that was brought down by a split infinitive over on Vonnegut field earlier today in a hard fought battle with the rookie Random House team, also based out of New York.
HARRY: I really didn’t see that coming.
STU: You said it, Harry. But we have a lot more competition to get to this afternoon, to find the grand champion of the four remaining alliances.
HARRY: The champion alliances from the four divisions - Bronte, Vonnegut, Kafka, and Grafton - will battle it out here on Gutenberg field to determine the overall champion of the FIRWP (For inspiration and recognition of writing and philosphy) championship event.
… and so forth
