Re: paper: Relative Success of Championship Teams based on Qualification Method
I think we've all seen/expected the district correlation for a while, but its definitely interesting to see it in the numbers.
I am actually more interested in the lines that show the HoF teams vs the RCA winners... Most of us know the HoF teams, and all of them are great teams with great robots. What I find interesting is that the CA line is trending downward, but the HoF line is not.
This brings up a few interesting questions...
1. What is the correlation between CA teams and "good robots"?
2. Do the incredibly strong CA teams have strong all around programs thus resulting in good robots? or are CCA judges picking teams that have strong robots in addition to strong CA criteria?
3. Why is the RCA line dipping? Is it because there are more RCA's given out, thus the pool has to be spread more thinly? Is it because RCA teams are concentrating more on their RCA performance than Robot performance?
Any theories?
