2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database by Karthik

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Just. Awesome.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Greetings all,

Attached is the 2009 Team 1114 Championship Database. This year's database includes full results for every team who competed in the 2009 season as well. Version 1.0 does not have the divisional assignments. We will issue an updated version on the evening of the day the divisions are announced. This will be the final update of the database.


The database includes:
- An interface allow you pull an individual team's record
- Full listing of awards, record & finish
- Team scoring averages
- "Calculated Contribution" which is the same calculation being refered to as OPR on these forums. This calculation usings linear alegbra to determine what a team's average input to their alliance was at each regional. (Only using qualifying match results) We found an average correlation between R = 0.7 and 0.85 to observed emperical scouting data
- A master sheet for a sortable comparison of all FIRST teams

Version 2.0 will include
- Master sheets for each division and full divisional assigments

The data we have was all mined from the FIRST website. There may be some errors, but I'm confident the data is 97.1114% accurate. If you notice any errors please respond to this thread, and we will correct them for Version 2.0.


Prior to 2008 we never released any of our regression analysis (Calculated Contribution) that we had been doing since 2004. Since people have become more knowledgeable on the subject we decided to make the change. Please do not take a poor score as a slight or an insult. We simply used the actual scores from matches to perform a calculation. We feel that this tool is the best available metric if you are unable to watch the actual matches. Since none of us can attend every regional, it should be a valuable tool. That being said, because of the defensive nature of Lunacy, the regression analysis is not as valuable as it was in more offensive games such as Overdrive.

Thanks to Geoff Allan and Roberto Rotolo of Team 1114 for creating this year's database.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Edit: Version 2.0 is now up, with divisions.

team 141 also won the Entrepreneurship Award at MI state even though we didn't go to state. it was not on our awards list.

We were picked 3rd at Wisconsin not 14th thanks.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

As far as I can tell any team that competed at 10,000 Lakes or Northstar as their first regional is missing from the database.

Also 2970 was the second pick at Northstar and 2549 was 15th.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

This is awesome!! Thank you!
Where are the Connecticut Regional Teams?

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Thanks for sharing this resource! I make sure my team checks this out every year, at the least as a source of some raw numbers. What they choose to do with them is another story. (:

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Some of the data for us is off by a bit. Is there still data to be entered for teams?

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Thanks for catching this. There'll be an update released to address this database error.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

I searched and found that 716 and 1124 are missing from the database.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

The record for 829 at Boilermaker is incorrect.
We were 6-5, 16th seed and Semi-finalist.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Wow. This is great. Thank you to 1114!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Yup. We received a bad dump of data, so there are about 136 missing teams. We will be releasing a new version very shortly.

The elimination performance is being fixed. As for the record, according to the FIRST site we have you at 5-5.

If these standings are incorrect and someone has the correct version, please pass them along via PM.

Also, we are looking for complete alliance selection data from both Minnesota events. If anyone has the full draft order, it would be greatly appreciated. (FYI, The FIRST site lists the teams in random order for elimination matches, so mining this data is one of our tougher tasks)

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Thanks to everyone on 1114 who worked on this - exceptional work.
What an awesome database.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Alright. Version 1.1 is now up. The database error has been fixed, and this version should not be missing any teams. Thank you for your patience, and special thanks to Geoff and Roberto for working so quickly to get this new version up.

Also updated are the alliances for MN2, as well as a few other miscellaneous errors that were pointed out.

I have removed version 1.0 to reduce any possible confusion. Look for version 2.0 the evening divisions come out.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

This sounds and looks amazing but unfortunately doesn't work in OOo 3, so I can't use it. Not like I was expecting it to, but it would be nice. If you release an 03 version it's more likely to work in OOo.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

How come I can't open this, what is it supposed to be opened with. Excel isn't working.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

It's an Excel 2007 file. In an earlier post in this thread Karthik said they are working on getting a 2003 version up soon.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Man I really need XCELL07. Now.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

I have 03, okay well soon enough, Thank You!!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Soon enough is now. :)

An Excel 2003 version of the database has now been uploaded. It's a 7.0 MB file, zipped to ~2.0MB.

Some formatting may display incorrectly in the 2003 version.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Roberto did a great job once again this year!

Thanks Simbots!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

thanks a lot for this. It is a great tool for looking back on a season and also in preparing for nationals.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Once again, fantastic job 1114! Aside from TBA, this is probably the best resource available for Championship pre-scouting.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Nice job it is always cool to see how your team compares to other teams out there.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

This is soooooo cool!
.. but a little dissapointing seeing our good numbers but not qualifying for atl :(

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

THANKS KARTHIK! :D :D :D

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

2826 won the creativity, all-star, and the highest rookie seed at 10000 lakes. It is missing in your data. Other wise all the teams i looked at were correct and this thing is AWESOME! Thanks alot as always.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Glad to see the Simbots coming through for us again with their excellent scouting data.
Thanks, and see you next week!
Pete

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Simbots have outdone theirselves again...very impressive scouting system Karthik!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

very very very nice, this should be helpful when the division list come out.

Question: Is there any way to sort teams going to Championship by offensive and defensive rankings?

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Yup, sort descending by which ever ranking you wish, then sort ascending by division. All the teams who are registered for the Championship are listed as "Division still pending" and move to the top of the list.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Karthik,

It looks like you have the finalists and winners for the SBPLI Long Island Regional reversed (else the FIRST site and Blue Alliance have them backwards).

Thanks!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Wondering if you missed data on Team 236?
TBA has them at 5-5-0 in the Conn. Regional.

Thanks

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

The records shown in the database are for qualifying matches only. TBA shows qualifying + elimination records.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Thanks Karthik and 1114! This is a great resource and will definitely help when scouting divisions in Atlanta.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

The updated files with the divisions and a few corrections are now uploaded. Please see Version 2.0.

Thanks to all who provided updated information, especially IndySam!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Thanks a bunch! This certainly makes a scout's job a little easier.

Another little mistake I noticed for SAC, 115 was 3rd pick, and 692 was 14th pick, not the other way around. And 766 was 4th pick, and 2063 was 13th pick, that got switched around as well, but those mistakes are not too surprising, nor should they really matter, hopefully.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

I looked at Newton....aack!!!!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Karthik, this is staggering--incredible job by you and Simbotics. This entire system is incredibly elegant and well done, not to mention useful.

Small correction, 175 was a Finalist at CT, not Semi-Finalist.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Woot 1114!

Thanks so much, now I have more things to waste my time with! :D

Analyzing divisions is fun with this.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Nevermind, found what I was looking for.

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Thanks for sharing your database, 1114! This will be a great tool for sorting through some data in preparation for Atlanta. You made all of our jobs a whole lot easier!

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

This is an extremely powerful program, very impressive scouting system Karthik! :cool:

Just added all filters for every column in the sheets. This is just amazing!:ahh:

Re: paper: 2009 Team 1114 Championship Scouting Database
 

Karthik mathematically explained a lot of holes in OPR during FIRSTcast this week. I suggest teams check out why. Good show Karthik.
