#1 - 525

#2-11 - don't know much about ranking, just that 525 is the best

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Nice job, but apparently 1678 didn't play enough in 2016 to generate an average OPR (although we did have a maximum)...

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Yeah, 3 regionals, a division, and Einstein isn't enough, stop slacking off! :P

Ugh, the mistakes I make by doing this by hand...

I think I copied an old graph and somehow swapped 1678 with 1717, losing your 2016 data in the process. Anyway, here's a fixed graph. Hopefully I didn't managed to mess something else up.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Could someone do an in depth list for CT? It's hard to remember how many good teams there are. I know OPR is OPR, but in no way does it do CT or NE in fact any justice.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

The top 5 teams from Iowa during the Stronghold season, as ordered by maximum OPR at a single regional or at Champs:

#1 - 525 (Swartdogs) with a 53.85 OPR at the Iowa Regional.
#2 - 5576 (Team Terminator) with a 48.28 OPR at the Minnesota North Star Regional.
#3 - 967 (Iron Lions) with a 37.98 OPR at the Minnesota North Star Regional.
#4 - 4646 (Team ASAP) with a 36.57 OPR at the Central Illinois Regional.
#5 - 167 (Children of the Corn) with a 36.53 OPR at the Minnesota North Star Regional.

Honorable Mention: 3928 (Team Neutrino) with a 34.95 OPR at the Minnesota North Star Regional.


Edit: Average OPR during 2016 season:
#1 - 525 with an average OPR of 49.71 during the 2016 season.
#2 - 5576 with an average OPR of 39.55 during the 2016 season.
#3 - 4646 with an average OPR of 34.86 during the 2016 season.
#4 - 3928 with an average OPR of 32.30 during the 2016 season.
#5 - 167 with an average OPR of 31.32 during the 2016 season.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

I was going to do a bunch of rankings based on different statistics for Iowa, but Golfer4646 beat me to OPR. :)

Some statistics I used to rank 2016 robot performance:

Highest Rank During Season (2016)
1. 525 (2)
2. 4646 (6)
3. 5576 (10)
4. 167 (12)
5. 967 (14)

Highest Pick # (2016)
1. 525 (2)
2. 5576 (4)
3. 3928 (8)
4. 4646 (9)
5. 967 (10)

Maximum OPR (2016) (I know this has already been posted, but for the sake of having all Iowa rankings in one post, I will repeat it)
1. 525 (53.85)
2. 5576 (48.28)
3. 967 (37.98)
4. 4646 (36.57)
5. 167 (36.53)

Maximum CCWM (2016)
1. 525 (33.70)
2. 5576 (21.92)
3. 3928 (12.69)
4. 4646 (10.83)
5. 167 (10.33)

I also looked at over the past 5 years how many awards teams had won.

Awards (past 5 years)
1. 525 (16)
2/3. 3928/4646 (6)
4. 967 (5)
5/6. 5576/5837 (3)

I used TBA and 2834's Scouting database for all stats. Thanks!

A large portion of this was all found and copied by hand. If there are any errors in it, feel free to correct me.

tldr: 525 is pretty undisputedly the best in Iowa.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Probably the best in the entire Upper-Midwest.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

The upper midwest can be defined as a pretty big area. That is a discussion in itself.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

It sure is that!

My view is that eastern-time states don't qualify, letting out Ohio, Michigan, and (mostly) Indiana. North and South Dakota are Great Plains states, like Nebraska and Kansas, along with big portions of Oklahoma and Texas. Where you put Missouri depends on which major city you see it from -- KC or STL.

That leaves Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota in the Upper Midwest.

I'll go with 525 as one of that region's top teams, maybe the best overall looking at a long time period.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Ok, then IL has...

https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/2481/2016

Oh.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

Yeah, how on earth did our alliance make it out of the quarters at IRI? :confused:

2481 vs. 525 has to go to the two time world champs, looking at the last five years. Considering a longer time frame and overall program impact, I still give the edge to 525.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

2481 has gone to Einsteins twice and won once.

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

2481 has been one of my favorite teams for years. I would find it hard not to rank them #1.

Re: Best in your State/Region

4. 1619 (1 Engineering Inspiration, 1 Chairman's)
5. 4944 (2 Rookie All Star)

This is my take. I'd love to see another Coloradan's view!

Re: Best in your State/Region
 

All I can say is even when we improve, we still can't close the gap on 254!! And it was kind of nice being able to win those events without having to actually play!:D
