Re: Defense Poll

Dang it, I was going to make a poll like this and got beat to the punch.

Either way, even though this poll has only been up for, what, hours, I'm already seeing a trend: the class C obstacles are getting significantly less love than any other obstacle type, with a p-value for such a difference being essentially 0. (for those of you who aren't stat nerds, this serves as a very strong argument that the discrepancy in popularity isn't random) I wonder if this is because teams assume that they can always get a partner to help, because that would explain a LOT. Either way, I'd have to say this is very interesting, as once you get to the highest levels of play, It's unlikely you'll want to spend 2 robots' time for one robot to cross one defense.

If this trend holds, this'll be certainly something to consider going forward (at least, once snowmageddon is over).
