I attached a second graph (qualification methods grouped) because it shows another interesting trend. Up until two years ago, there were about as many culture-changing teams as teams that qualified using their robot. In the past two years, the % of "robot teams" at the CMP has quickly outpaced "culture teams." The causes for this are obvious, but the effect is quite dramatic.
Are you counting teams that qualified on total district points among the "robot" camp? Points come from both on- and off-field sources.
