It's very harsh to look at a single statistical measure and say that anyone has a weak anything. A low minibot score could be because of a weak minibot, or a weak deployment system, or because they have the best minibot, so with 30 seconds left, all 3 opponents stop doing anything else except stopping the team from scoring the minibot, or because the team has such a large tube score that they purposely descide not to deploy a minibot.

Really, the only conclusion you can draw is that 148's minibot (at Alamo) did not score as many points as other minibots. I'm glad that you are working through the math and providing data. However, speculating as to the reason for the data (as you did when you called the minibot weak) is drawing a false conclusion.
