Did you guys with hold both polls till after the Expert unveil or are you releasing the public poll in a little bit?

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

We will be releasing the public poll live on the show, followed by releasing the expert poll after the show. You'll be able to see the results after the show at http://www.FRCTop25.com
Thanks!

I'm really looking forward to the new rankings - should be exciting!

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

Yay, now I can get educated on all the amazing teams I didn't think of when voting! Bring a pad a pen kids!

These are a few teams from my top 25 with scores according to my new algorithm.

Next revision coming next week to separate robots and minibots in calculating the contribution. Should give a reading which is better. I'm happy with this one though...

the top 5 are truly in a league of their own.

My Estimated Team's Contribution



vs OPR?
lets see who wins week 2! :)
*note: my apologies to SD and Lake Superior (your events are the only 2 so far that didn't tweet so I don't have your data...)

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

I would love to see your algorithm:confused:

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

Out of curiosity, what is your new algorithm - I'm always intrigued by new algorithms for FRC statistics! :-)

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

It appears to be OPR-DPR (or SAA as Bongle calls it)

While OPR is relatively okay at predicting robot goodness, DPR is generally pretty bad at predicting a robot's defense capabilities. (especially in a game like this, how often does 1114 actually play defense?)

Nevermind, that appears to have been a happy coincidence for the test cases I tried. I'm curious too, what is it?

DPR is typically a good indicator of schedule difficulty though.

[EDIT for more clarification]DPR tries to extrapolate how many points an opposing alliance scored when your robot was on the field. Typically, your robot doesn't much factor into that, especially in a mostly defense free game like this. If a team has low DPR, they could be a great defender, but the chances are much better that they just got an easy schedule with opponents who didn't put up many points. Even if you play great defense on a top tier team, they'll still score a lot.[/EDIT]

Actually its neither.
Its what I call an ETC - Estimated Team's Contribution
As a qualifying match gets added to my DB I add the alliance's points to a running sum for a given team. Leaving each team with a TAQMP (total alliance qualifying match points), then divide by the # of matches played and you get ATAQMP(average TAQMP)
then based on AT* go through all of the matches again, comparing the 3 teams AT*s on an alliance, and figure out the % of that matches points attributed to a given team ETQMC (estimated teams qualifying match contribution)

add up all the ETQMCs for a given robot and divide by the number of matches and you are left with ETC (Estimate Team's Contribution) on a per match basis.

what OPR lacks is a match by match analysis, it more looks that big picture and misses some of the details. Also next week i will be separating the total score into (autonomous & teleop) and the (minibot). This should reduce the point inflation and get an even more accurate ETC

so next week I'll have an EMC (estimated minibot contribution), ERC (estimated robot contribution), and an improved ETC

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

So is the % for a given team/match that team's TAQMP/(sum of alliance's TAQMP?)? It'll definitely be neat to see it without the minibot. And by this algorithm, all teams will have a positive lineskier ranking?

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

its done by AT*, as different teams play different # of matches you have to take an average.

so lets say for the red alliance

r1c = AT* for red1

r1c/(r1c + r2c + r3c) = r1%c to match n
r1%c * redScore = r1mc (red1's match contribution)

also a teams AT* is calculated on a per event basis. So if you go to a second regional your teams match contribution is based on your performance at that regional

However your ETC is the average ETQMC over all matches at all regionals

There is no way to have a negative as points against are not factored. that being said, Just as I can calculate MC and RC I am about one days worth of coding away from a DC (defensive contribution). My hope was to present a madden-like scale for each team. So before a match you could plug in the 6 teams and see what you are in for (based on the #s rather than based on teams claims)

also I wanted to add an alliance selection app, that estimates a teams contribution to your alliance. For example if you have 2 minibots better than the 3rd then their MC would be dropped from their value. I think this would come in handy in picking out teams your may over look for your 2nd pick. Obviously you would want to check it against your scouting sheets...

Did you run the numbers for San Diego?

Re: FRCTop25.com Week 2 *Results Broadcasted LIVE Tonight!*
 

Unfortunately SD was one of the two regionals that didn't post to the twitter feed. Supporting SD and Lake Superior would force me to parse the first site, and break the algorithms I plan on implementing later. Unfortunately when it came down to priorities, I have selected to abandon non tweeted events for now.

Great job with your video player though, I enjoyed watching the videos.
