Re: Relative Division Rankings
To me, this shows the divisions to be closer overall than thought. There is a range of only 4.6 on average OPR - can you tell me that a robot with an OPR of 31 is significantly better than a robot with an OPR of 26.4? Same goes for the average Max OPR...range of only 3.7. The top 8 Max OPR is quite a bit more revealing...Newton does appear to be quite a bit lower than the other 3 divisions on the top end. The fact that the overall average in not significantly lower makes me think there might be a bit more balance.

Thanks for bringing up the data - this should be a lot of fun. I agree with the previous posts about not counting anyone out...the right alliance combination who gets hot at the right time can go far.
