Litter Aces

Based on Week 2 data from Ed Law, several teams have racked up impressive litter scores.

48 teams have OPR Litter >10. (five four of these rank in Top 20 for Qual Avg: 1114, 67, 744, 2342, 1876)

4 teams have OPR Litter >20. (2767, 3238, 2342, 5167)

These litterbugs (Litter Aces) are making their impact felt on Recycle Rush.

To emulate: humans practice throwing.

To mitigate: teams add litter plows to robots, drivers practice sweeping. (Is this even worth the teleop time spent? Maybe, in the final seconds without a potential cap.)

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
