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.

You're absolutely right. I'm still getting used to making appropriate comments.148s minibot score was so low that the minibot had little value in alamo qualifying matches. This could certainly be because they wanted to maximize qualifying points.

Minibot and deployment are grouped together for me.

The comment was not.meant to.be harsh but rather a compliment. If I had a.decent minibot I'd pick 148 over pretty much any other team.

Also weak was meant to be relative to other top.ten teams. In my book 148 is the most impressive team. Not the most valuable but the most impressive
