Also looking at robot performance, MI and MAR were well represented in the elimination rounds in 2012. 96 teams were chosen for eliminations, or 24% of teams at CMP. A quick check indicates that 23 of those teams were from Michigan and 8 were from MAR.

The math shakes out to show that 63.8% of Michigan teams at CMP were selected for eliminations, and 30.7% of teams from MAR at CMP were selected for eliminations, ahead of the expected value of 24%.

As a part of the entire CMP event: Michigan made up 9.0% of the teams attending, but 24.0% of elimination teams were from Michigan. MAR represented 6.5% of the total teams at CMP, and represented 8.3% of the elimination teams.

As a share of the entire region: 12.1% of all Michigan teams (190) made it the CMP eliminations, and 8.1% of all MAR teams (99) made it to the CMP eliminations. The average for every FIRST team is 4.1% (96 of 2339 teams).
