No Defense (or No Defence in 1114's case)
Another example of skewed data is the range of Auto points being earned this year. Either you're a team with a 20 pt auto (there tend to be 1 or maybe 2 teams per regional this year) or you receive no auto points...maybe if you get a good alliance the big 4 pts. At some regionals, if you take out the top two scoring auto teams, the average amount of auto pts. per team is less than one point. This only reinforces the idea of this game being a skills challenge, rather than a game.
