(There are far too many people concerned with OPR and spending far too much time analyzing, adjusting OPR to show various things and make predictions. OPR is good for a very quick reference when you have no other information about a team. If you are spending more than 15 minutes on OPR, I suggest you actually watch matches of teams. You will get a far better picture of who is good and who isn't. Better yet, you will find what their strengths/weakness are.)
Team 5125 is a 45 pound Kitbot with no scoring mechanism but has a 40 point per match OPR.
If there is no bigger indictment of the fallacy of relying on OPR for scouting there it is.
