Graph of ETCs, EMCs, and ERCs through week 3

Here's a graph I just generated of the various contributions.

Please note that they do not allign to teams, but rather the whole data set. I look forward to any insights you may have from the data.

blue is EMC
green is ERC
orange is ETC



A few insights of my own. Minibots are rare, we all knew this, but the EMCs follow a fairly linear curve after 200.

The best robots are rarer that minibots.
After around 100 on the ERC graph it skyrockets and really follows an exponential curve. Snagging a robot in the top 50 or 75 of robots looks pretty critical.



Just as I've suspected all along, come Einstein it will be the robots that differentiate the winners from the losers. The minibot race will be crazy, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket. There will be many top notch minibots, not as many top notch robots.

Again these are just my opinions on numbers I created. Feel free to ignore them or criticize them. All I have to say is, I'm glad I'm not a driver on Einstein this year. They better have a defibrillator on scene .
