Re: Successful teams in FRC history

I just want to put in perspective how difficult winning a division is to remind everyone why so few teams have done it.

Just 106 teams in FRC history have won a division.

That is .02% out of ~5200 teams in FRC history.

There have been 176 slots available for teams to appear on Einstein since divisions were created in 2001, so if each spot was won by a different team it would still be .0338% of all teams that had made it.

Just 34 teams in FRC history account for 59% (104) of the division wins, these are the multiple division winners.

Even more staggering is the 7 members of the "5-Timers Club" account for over 22% (39) of all appearances.

You shouldn't be upset that your team has never broken through.
