Wow, that is very interesting.
I had expected that the Regional Winners Captains / 1st-picks would be high-performing, but still below the District CMP teams.
What I had
not expected was that the "Regional Winner 2nd-picks" would underperform RCA, EI, and basically every other category of robot other than the Rookie All-Stars.
However, when thinking about it, if the ranking system is doing a reasonably good job of sorting robots by robot capability and the draft is doing a reasonably good job of ordering the remaining teams, then the 2nd-picks of a regional winner are likely about the 17th to 24th best robots at the regional. At a 40-team regional, these are about the middle of the pack. Thinking of that in world-wide terms: there are about 2500 teams worldwide - the middle of the pack would be robots ranked about 1200-1300 worldwide. It really shouldn't be surprising that very few of these robots appear in the elimination rounds at CMP, as the CMP eliminations would be expected to be 96 of the best robots in the world.
