You're exactly right. Now, post-2016, I would definitely put you guys in top 5.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

Kansas only has 22 teams and some of them don't even go back four years, but I was thinking math would be the best way to rank them.

I just manually entered info from TBA to get ranking by Average Qual score and Ranking by OPR for the last six years. I've totaled it at four for the purpose of this thread.

Average qual score, the teams are:

1. 1810 Mill Valley Jaguar Robotics
2. 935 Newton Railer Robotics
3. 2410 Blue Valley Metal Mustangs
4. 1108 Paola Panther Robotics
5. 1982 Shawnee Mission NW Cougars.

OPR ranking:
1. 935 Newton Railer Robotics
2. 1108 Paola Panther Robotics
3. 2410 Blue Valley Metal Mustangs
4. 1802 Piper Team Stealth
5. 1810 Mill Valley Jaguar Robotics


Here's a link to my spread sheet. the data is on one sheet, the totals and my weighting is on the second.

Weighting was simply 5 points to the best team that year, 4 to the second, 3 to the next, 2 to fourth place and 1 to fifth place.

Feel free to check me or extend my sheets if you like.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

I would have to disagree with a few of those. While 2337 is a solid team, I think that 27 has a more consistent record. Also, while it pains me to take 469 off the list, I think that their team is at the end of its glory days. I would replace it with 503, who has won Chairman's at MSC for the past 7 years. I've been rooting for them to be a Hall of Fame team (and shocked that they aren't yet).

And thanks for the shoutout BTW.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

I completely agree with this especially with 27 being in the Hall of Fame during the 4 year record, but unfortunately it causes me to disagree with your other point

This one I disagree with because 469 had 1 bad year (2016) and it shouldn't counteract them being world champions in 2014. If you are looking at just the last year, 503 is clearly better but I feel being the only world champion from Michigan during the 4 year time frame 469 deserves their spot.

Re: Top 5 teams for your state over the last 4 years
 

Idk, I kinda disagree. For me, and other members on my team, I think the list looks a lot more like this-

1) 2974
2) 1261
3) 2415
4) 4188
5) 1648
with honorable mentions to 1746 and 4468 :)

Not sure if the people for Indiana are actually ranking them or just randomly putting the teams in order, but in terms of consistency...

1) 1024: Its honestly shocking that a team can be so good this consistently in such a competitive state as Indiana. Hats off.
2) 1501: Similar to 1024, except they usually seem to play second fiddle to them. Really good stuff.
3) 234: Bit of a downer last year for their standards, but can't deny their ability. Easily one of the best, just last year.
4) 868: Not as consistent as the others, but they always build amazing machines, who, by the end, are able to demolish the competition.
5) 135: Consistently in the top 8 in almost every competition.
