Re: Week--2 All regionals OPR

Sorry to intrude again, but another most interesting plot. Plotted on the same graph is the OPR distribution for bridge, hybrid, and teleop. The way OPR is calculated (from lumped sums), it stands to reason that we should expect to see similar distribution shapes for any OPR statistic be bridge, hybrid or teleop. This is what we see.



Like one might expect, the elite tier teams dominated in Teleop. It is a little surprising to me that they do not also dominate in hybrid. Perhaps if we see some autonomous bridge jousts for balls this shape will change. In the middle of the road teams, it is clear that bridge balancing is worth more points than teleop and hybrid, although not by a terribly large margin. I also find the fact that the teleop and bridge balancing curve cross again near zero -- I wonder if this is a sign that teams with inexperienced drivers make it hard for their partners to balance, versus just being unable to score balls by themselves.

On a final note, notice all three lines are quite close. The game has a beginning, middle, and end and they are all close to equally weighted. I wonder if other FRC games that are regarded as good and fun to watch share this characteristic?
