While MinuteBots might be new, Caleb is a KnightKrawler alum, and has a few more years than that under his belt.
While I'd agree that extrapolating observations from one region to all others is typically an oversimplification, I'd also say that for most teams it's much more useful to be familiar with your area or the area you're competing in that it is to worry about others. It's pretty clear that there's a different average at, say Silicon Valley Regional than there is at MN 10K Lakes Regional. A team travelling to either region would likely have their assumptions about what an average team can or cannot do challenged.
