A good scoring robot and two decent passers will likely score similar to 3 all around good robots. This reduces the OPR of the all around good robots at an event. This seems to be what Tom was addressing.

Among the other problems with OPR this year is the assumption that teams are trying to maximize their overall score. Many teams at times sacrificed potential truss and high goal points to maximize assist points rather than total score.
