This is partially true. Your team's OPR is the least-squares approximation of how many points your robot can score in a match, which is based both on the number of points each of your alliances scores, and who was on each alliance. This basically means that if you're always on high-scoring alliances, you'll probably have a reasonably good OPR, but your OPR will be higher if your partners have lower OPRs and vice versa. (I can give a more detailed mathematical explanation of how OPR works if you like, but I think that post has probably been made already somewhere around here.)
