Re: Tips for Team Promotion to Scouts

After looking at QP and OPR rankings I can see a definite need to promote yourself to other teams like you all have suggested. Team 4202 at the Arizona Regional was ranked 13 in QP and 11 in OPR and didn't make the tournament. 991 (OPR 18 QP 33) and 1290(OPR 19 QP 37) didn't either. 2 teams were picked that had OPR in the 30's and QP in the 40's.

Now granted there may be one functionality that the alliance wanted that the robot had. Just a point that if you are higher in either rankings you still need to promote yourself.

On a side note, anybody calculating weights of double and triple balancing and if the possibility of balancing is feasible. Seems closer the weights are the closer they can be to each other and near the pivot point of the bridge. Would help eliminate the possibility of tipping because you have to get closer to the edge of the bridge if they weight difference is greater.
