Easy question. IF the cuts needed to be in at 4pm today. Does Foster make the team? Yes or No? Easy answer. The cuts aren't today precisely to give teams enough time to make evaluations.

I would assume that it's tech based and engineering programs were much better too. Alabama is a good school, but you're greatly overvaluing it. Alabama Astrobotics took the top prize at the NASA Robotic Mining Competition, besting student teams from more than 50 other institutions in the challenge to build a robot capable of navigating and excavating simulated Martian soil, or regolith. Made up of about 65 students from across eight disciplines including engineering and computer science, Alabama Astrobotics is the only team to win more than once in the nine-year history of the NASA contest, placing first in 2012, 2015, 2016, 2017 and, now, 2018. Huh, UA engineering students won the top prize in this NASA competition 4 years running over 50 other schools. https://www.ua.edu/news/2018/05/four-in-a-row-for-ua-robotics-team/ I wonder how US news factored that in? Oh, they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, they didn't. You can keep posting competitions where small subsets of elite students participate, or we can just go with the fact that Georgia Tech is ranked top 20 in the world for engineering. https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2018/subject-ranking/engineering-and-IT#!/page/0/length/25/sort_by/rank/sort_order/asc/cols/stats https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/engineering?page=2 Please just get over the fact that Alabama is not some Ivy League quality school. It admits over half of the applicants and you're never going to convince non-homer Bama folks. You can't even get to BAM on this board before you post some homer nonsense.

Do you even know what the parameters of the competition were? How bout all the other thousands of engineering competitions? Spin it however you want, but Georgia Techs programs rank in the top 5 or 10 and Alabama isn't close. https://coe.gatech.edu/news/georgia-tech-wins-top-honors-formula-hybrid-competition https://coe.gatech.edu/rankings-and-stats Where is the spin? In a 4 yr long competition, UA engineeers outperformed GT engineers.
