Does that essentially mean that not only do they rarely (if ever) commit fouls, but also that their presence on an alliance reduces the chance/severity of their allies committing fouls as well?

If so, we should really be asking teams 2493 and 4981 what they're doing to keep the game clean. =]

As a team with one of the most negative foul OPRs: yes, we strategize with fouls in mind. We noticed teams that tend to foul and negotiated with them to not do what they've done in the past to get fouls. For example, we noticed that one of our future partners was getting fouls by deploying their ball grabber while playing defense. In our match with them, we asked them to not deploy their grabbers under any circumstance even if they were near a ball (their role that match was purely defense).

Other times we've had teams that tend to foul play an assist role in order to keep them away from playing defense.

If you scout well and have some good data (and persuasive skills) you can really help keep your foul score down. This is nothing new this year - we've been doing it for years.

But, please don't forget that not all fouls were called the same. At Center Line, if you had your arm down roping a ball and someone rammed into you, you were still given the foul, despite their G14. Once word of this got around, defensive robots used it to get 50 points on the offensive robots. That is quite evident in the fact that the blue alliances dominated our elims. When 3 robots are destroyed in qf's and the only penalty points are against those 3 robots, something is very wrong!

Does anybody have the Team Standings results of Greater Toronto West after all 60 Qualification matches. The FIRST website only shows the Team Standings after 51 matches. We are not going to have their data in this year if they don't post it or I will just put unknown for team rankings.
