That's OK, I think we can still be friends...
In this case, I hope your right because I'd like to have a much easier time this year at Champs, than we did at MSC this weekend.
Thinking back, it's probably 50/50.
- 2009, I think MSC was a bit more competitive than the Division champs. But we also had 111 at Champs, who was IMO the best robot at Champs.
- 2010, we had to face 469 @ MSC...so that would say MSC was tougher. But, I think outside of 469, the teams in the division eliminations were a little stronger.
- 2011, no question we had a harder time fighting the likes of 2056, 71, 2826, 987, and all the super fast minibots that showed up at Champs than we did at MSC.
- 2012, we also much harder time in St. Louis, when we had to go up against 1114, 2056, and 4334 in our division eliminations.
I would suspect that typically the elimination round scores on average continue to increase, even from MSC to Division.
I'm sure Jim Zondag would have data to prove this arguement one way or the other.
