Re: Congrats to Team 16, Baxter Bomb Squad

It's awesome that they went undefeated, and it was truly a great robot, but should also remind us that this year, W-L ratios are very much determined by the match schedule. Looking through their schedule http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/16 show this. Only one team they competed against scored 40+ points. Then you put the two powerhouses together 16 and 148, and there wasn't much that could be done.

What's also interesting is look at 148's record... It's listed at 14-1-1 except if you look at the scores, I can't seem to find a loss or a tie.

also 148 scored an average of 85pts per match
16 scored 77.
I'm still trying to figure out why 148's record is what it is, it seems they should be in the undefeated boat too. Now that I'm looking through my calculations on the Twitter feed, I think it may be TBA misprinting a match or 2.

Congrats to team 16 through, you really had an awesome robot!
Don't get me wrong you deserved it!
