More then ten teams, it is hard to rank the teams are we talking about all time best or last year?

Alright, Andrew and Ian, I think your statistics skills may be needed here. There might not be enough data going back far enough to do this but...

A 4* year moving average of OPR ranking, CCWM ranking, match win percentage and/or event win percentage (including divisions and Einstein) would be an interesting way too look at trends in team competitiveness. This evens out teams that had one really amazing year, and also top teams that had an "off" year (eg, 1114 only won one regional :eek: in 2009).

I suspect the teams that we'll see at the top are the ones already being talked about, but there might be a few surprises. I think it's at least a more statistically significant calculation of the "best" teams (from a competition standpoint) over time.

*I pick 4 because it's the maximum turnover time for a high school student on a team. Other time blocks could be used

No 217?

This doesn't answer the question of the thread, but taking a look at recent FRC history, here's an OPR-based ranking of FRC Teams over the past 5 years (2008-2012):
1114
2056
67
987
254
25
111
1717
330
469
217

I took the average of the z-scores of the average of the teams' event OPRs. Unweighted by year or event, but each year was standardised so the data could be combined. It gave this top 11. I made it a top 11 because 217 and 469 were pretty close and there was a pretty big gap after 217. I only have easy access to the past 5 years of data. 1114 and 2056 were ahead of the pack by far. As for OPR, I think it's more trustworthy than any other easily accessible measure of success. You can find a more detailed break-down on CD-Media. That includes methodology, a summary of the more interesting data points, and the spreadsheet with ALL the teams.

How about this stat?:
6 years IN A ROW on Einstein. (2006 - 2011)
Two Championships in the modern era with a much higher level of competitiveness. (2007, 2010)

Not only left off of many lists, but ranked low on most.

See if you can name this dominant team and what your ranked teams bring to the table as evidence of outstanding performance that can compare.

That being said....
the best team is the one that your are on.
It really is about so much more than the robot.

Durning the 2012 Season, 987 High Rollers went undefeated in not only one event but two. And almost went undefeated on curie (they lost one match).
