Re: The 2056 Streak has ended!
This shirt is a great idea, and a fitting tribute to the thirty partners and three final opponents who were part of OP's historic win streak.
In the spirit of the Erdős number that mathmeticians track, I propose that teams be assigned "OP Numbers", defined as follows:
- Team 2056 has OP Number = 0. They are unique.
- A team that has been on the winning alliance n times with 2056 at an official FRC event has OP Number = 1/n.
- A team that has been on the winning alliance with any team whose OP Number is greater than zero and less than or equal to one has OP Number = 2.
- A team that has been on the winning alliance with any team whose OP Number is 2 has OP Number = 3.
- And so on.
To start,
1114 has OP Number = 1/16
1547 has OP Number = 1/2
The following teams have OP Number = 1
Can anyone provide a script to calculate OP numbers for all currently active FRC teams?*

*Ether, you are ineligible. However, following your lead I will give rep points to the first CD student who shows a correct result, with sufficient detail to let others check the method used.

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.
