Our real minibot contribution based on that data is 29.3751 ( (30 * 15 + 20) / 16). I realize that you're just making an estimate, but when the data is so far from the actual value I don't see how it can be useful.

Hey guys, thanks for your posts. I'm glad to know how wrong it was. The reason your EMC is low is because of point inflation. Team's that had 2 minibots go up receive a greater emc than those who only have 1 go up.

Also I found a bug in my database, so it changed the values for some of the team's a little bit (111 being one of them). Please note the top minibot score in the nation is a 19, Dave 111 has a 17 so if you look at it in that context, it means you have one of the best minibots in FIRST.

Paul, 217 you also have a minibot with a rank of 17.

for example if you look at the new list below teams like 148, 40, and 1126 although they are top 25 teams, are lacking with regards to minibots.

Also one other thing, these are all calculated based on qualifying match scores only.

Right now minibot contributions are split among all 3 alliance members, I think I'm going to actually try to figure out the minibot finish order by the scores... shouldn't be too hard
