Woohoo! I cannot wait to start seeing the lists come in.
Just so there is no confusion, Each week will NOT be an isolated list of only that weeks teams. Once a team has competed, it can be included in your list from then on. IE in your week 2 list, teams that competed week 1 can still be included. |
Re: FRCTop25.com- Submit Your Picks for Week 1!
Ok, this is a feature request.
Filling out 25 boxes is tedious and I can't even think of 25 teams that I like. How about allowing users to enter just 5 or something like that. |

I am not judging your opinion, but rather highlighting the difficulty involved in developing the system. |

It's clear that the results of such a query at questionable at best. The 8th team on the list (the new one) did not make elims at Granite State and some of the great teams from New Jersey such as 2016 and 1676 didn't make the list at all. I'm personally eager to see both the user and expert polls to see what everybody else thought of the robots that played this weekend. |

When determining your top 25, I would suggest investigating the elimination matches also. |

its interesting though, based solely off the qualifying matches, the top 9 all were finalists. but they were truly in a league of their own. my stat algorithms weren't intended for a top 25 kind of use. i just wanted to see how close they got to predicting finalists. obviously needs a little bit of work... |

TLDR; you can't keep the voting window open longer for some teams than other teams, and you can't vote until you see all the teams. |

I agree about including elim matches. High seeds will get favor, but I guess it would be deserved. This would help out good teams in a regional with fewer good teams to support them in qualifying matches. |
Re: FRCTop25.com- Submit Your Picks for Week 1!
These are all great concerns! Thank you so much for all of your feedback! Please remember, we have a secret list of "experts" who will also be voting. So you can decide which list you think will be accurate; between the public poll and the expert poll. Our experts know that they need to go through each regional and spend a lot of time sorting through data and teams. On some of their submissions you will also see why they voted why they did. It's in my opinion that regional biases (the reason why no NJ teams made that one list) will get balanced out by the number of voters that we will have. Some one may heavily weight Alamo, while someone will heavily weight FLR. So i think it will be well rounded by the end. We have over 20 submissions so far, with just being open for about a day. We'll see how it goes.
And please remember, this is just for fun. :) |

Re: FRCTop25.com- Submit Your Picks for Week 1!
I'm going to echo what Mike said in that this is just for fun! Are some people going to vote based on little to no knowledge? Yes. Are people going to disagree with the eventual week 1 top 25? Yes. Just try to have fun with this and if you want to disagree with someone's list then feel free to submit your own list.
We fully expected this and will enjoy reading the discussion. Also, if you feel as though you don't have enough knowledge to fill out 25 teams out of the over 200 teams that competed week 1 then your more then welcome to either do some more research to become more informed (looking at OPR would be a great place to start) or you could hold off and vote next week. Thank you all for your feedback and participation. |

There is value in what you are doing with this data. Thank you for sharing. I am not the kind of guy to do the full research on 25+ teams to submit a fully proper entry, but using your analysis as a starting point I may feel confident enough to submit an entry. Maybe after I see data for week 2 as well. |

Its just nice to see the evidence that elim rounds should not be used when evaluating teams stats as they are not a reflection of the team but the alliance. Also once I start calculating a teams contribution in each match, the best teams will really rise to the top, more so than they already have. Again I only view my #1 pick as a ranked pick. Simply because 217 killed it in week 1, I can comfortably say they were the best. Everyone else should be looked at as a top 25 team, but not as #6 or #9... It will be interesting to see how teams' second regionals go. I'm personally looking out for team 40 and 33, as they are the only teams i know of going for the double autonomous, with a reasonable chance of doing it. |
Re: FRCTop25.com- Submit Your Picks for Week 1!
I think using purely statistics to rank teams is kind of defeating the whole purpose of the website and polling. Just saying...

But I am only one person, and I know people's opinions of robots will obviously rise to the top. I think numbers are a good place to start, and then based on that people should actually watch match videos and such. Unfortunately right now, most people can only vote based off the one or 2 regionals they watched in week 1. I'm simply trying to provide a basis for powerhouses that should be looked at :). |

If they ordered the teams on the twitter feed based on alliance selections, then I could do this, however that is not the case this year. |

The limiting factor is having a very well designed robot. This is why I've always shot for the design requirement "Design for autonomous"... because if it can meet the goals of autonomous, its probably simple enough for the drivers to use quite well. It's awesome to hear that so many of top 25 teams are getting there based on focusing on building great tube hangers, rather than great minibots. Also it seems teams who chose not to pick up from the field (my team included) made a huge mistake. Is anyone aware of a top 25 team that can't pick up off the floor? |

Buzz Robotics 175 is able to pick up from the floor but prefers to be fed as well. We did not use the "flipper" at all during the competition. We found it more effective to keep the floor clear of tubes in order to negate the opposing alliance from stealing the tubes we threw out. |

Now its time for me to work on my ranking algorithm, its okay but could be a lot better :) |

Just for example, the best BAE teams averaged around 60, where as 217 averaged 85 points per qualifying match and 2056 almost 80. Come the championship, if you want to play with the big boys, you'll have to be able to pick up off the floor, and have autonomous too. |

The average may have differed greatly but there are different ways this data may be perceived. It could mean that the teams were "weaker" or that they were better balanced with respect to one another.
Like you stated, the strategies at the regionals varied and the presence of tubes from both alliances in a central location compared to that of playing conservatively will result in different results. There is a thread about the highest score that refers to 148 and their partners scoring 135, but the opposing alliance with only a mere 8. Compare that to the first finals match at GSR with 117 over 82 and you see more of a balance. What were some of the finals scores at FLR,Alamo, NJ, and Kettering? I'd like to see some of the results. |
Re: FRCTop25.com- Submit Your Picks for Week 1!
Quarter Final 1, Match 1 (1 vs 8) at kettering... ended 114-79
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOzqN...eature=related probably the best two alliances in that elims... |

Top teams, or top robots? You mention both in the opening post.

Re: FRCTop25.com- Submit Your Picks for Week 1!
Since everyone is talking about avg qualification score, I figured I would post Top 30 OPR. I made this using version 13 on each regional and compiling it using Excel (while Bongle is working on a new version for this year).
