Re: top ten best teams in FIRST

2056
67
987
254
25
111
1717
330
469
217

I took the average of the z-scores of the average of the teams' event OPRs. Unweighted by year or event, but each year was standardised so the data could be combined. It gave this top 11. I made it a top 11 because 217 and 469 were pretty close and there was a pretty big gap after 217. I only have easy access to the past 5 years of data. 1114 and 2056 were ahead of the pack by far. As for OPR, I think it's more trustworthy than any other easily accessible measure of success. You can find a more detailed break-down on CD-Media. That includes methodology, a summary of the more interesting data points, and the spreadsheet with ALL the teams.
There are of course, three kinds of lies.......

How about this stat?:
6 years IN A ROW on Einstein. (2006 - 2011)
Two Championships in the modern era with a much higher level of competitiveness. (2007, 2010)

Not only left off of many lists, but ranked low on most.

See if you can name this dominant team and what your ranked teams bring to the table as evidence of outstanding performance that can compare.

That being said....
the best team is the one that your are on.
It really is about so much more than the robot.
