Newton looks like it will be the division to watch. I'm looking forward to see who comes out on top. Also, I'd imagine qualifications will have a lot of fun matches.

Match and ranking predictions are up!

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

Just out of curiosity, are you saying it requires 30 minutes of computer time to do the calculations?

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

Nope, but it required more than 30 minutes to parse the data out of the PDF and double check all the numbers.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

I was a bit surprised to see the schedules released in a form that is so hard to manipulate without manually regenerating the schedule in another format. I see TBA does not have the match schedules up yet, I'm guessing they are also not available on the FIRST API, which would make it easier to process.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

They are not going to host the unofficial schedules as FIRST asked until they are official.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

^ This. FIRST has asked us not to post match schedules until they are official.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

This makes practical sense, but it's unfortunate that there isn't an official easily parsable source for this data for teams to use.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

I've added a column to the predicted ranking tables that compares a team's OPR rank with their predicted rank to give a general idea of schedule difficulty.


Let me know if you have any ideas for other data you'd like to see on the site.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

This may be a dumb question, but the negative numbers means an easier schedule comparatively, right?

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

Sorry it's not clear- a negative number is a relatively harder schedule. For most tables on the site, you can hover over some column titles to get a longer description.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

oh okay, good to know. Thanks

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

Well, given a clock speed of 4.77 MHz, even with a math co-processor, these things take time...:p

Yes, Newton is THE field to watch.

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

A couple additions to the site:

• Division index pages: added latest OPR and "trending" indicators to see how the team's performance has changed over the season
• Division match prediction pages: add filtering option to only show matches with a particular team

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

Check out the new Monte Carlo simulation data on the site for each division. The chart has a lot of data, so I recommend not using a mobile device.


Here is an example box plot from Newton:

frc.divisions.co/division/Newton/monte-carlo



(and these did take more than 30 minutes of computation time...!)

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

I've added a match detail view to see a breakdown of each alliance and a picture of each robot from The Blue Alliance media.

The site has been updated to reflect the new official schedule for Carson.

If you want to compare the ranking/simulation data here are the results for the OLD schedule:

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

So was Carson the only division to not keep its preliminary schedule?

(I think that makes it two-in-a-row for Carson... I believe they were the only division to not retain its preliminary schedule last year too).

Re: Divisions are out! 2016 Division Tracker- View Data, Charts, and Predictions
 

Correct
