Re: Is OPR an accurate measurement system?
To get the right answer, you first have to ask the right question .... And
"... all models are wrong, but some are useful." George Box
OPR is what is it is; and the OPR equations compute OPRs 100% accurately.
You need to ask/determine whether OPR is a useful tool for your purpose (or ask what things OPR is useful for).
I personally think that Chairman's Award submissions are a better (but still imperfect) tool to use than OPR is, if I'm (quoting the OP) searching for "... the best teams in FRC."
