That would be entertaining, but I think we'd need a bigger field.

My statement was not absolute at all, it's simply a trend. Robots that have a higher OPR tend to win more often, I think we can all agree this is true. Curie division has the highest OPR's in their top 24 robots between all divisions. This is also true. Therefore it follows that it is likely that curie division will on average produce the alliances most likely to win. I think it logically follows that this statement is cogent and is more likely true than untrue.
