FRC ranking systems are generally regarded as the least accurate rank of robot ability. 2015 is the exception rather than the rule... unless you happen to have had the great fortune to have been paired with an awful lot of good teams, when it's still highly inaccurate. I'd use OPR first, and I am not a fan of OPR in general. I'll save the gory details for "if you're still interested" on this one.



To add another item to Kevin's list: A landfill robot can, in a pinch, load from the feeder station (some caveats apply about totes landing properly, or using a long enough ramp). A feeder robot cannot load from the landfill if there's some sort of problem with the feeder station, in general. (I think 1197 could have made the attempt, but we never ran out of feeder station totes.)
