Re: Predicting Actual High Efficiency Goal Shooting at Worlds

1.1 out of _50__ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >50
2.1 out of _100__ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >100
3.1 out of _300__ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >200
4.1 out of _1500__ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >400

Interesting that you chose median and not mean. To that, in qual rounds, at least half of your matches will have alliance partners that struggle to get 6 gears between the two of them. So will you focus on the other 6 gears for higher points or fuel?

I can see a team that is capable of shooting 150+ balls in a match as making the decision to get the fuel RP and stopping at 100 balls and then finishing the gears. But more often than not they will need to focus on gears for the higher point value and skip fuel.
Note that 100 balls is 1 RP if you get your 10 in auto, then 90 in teleop.

I've been a long term pessimist though.
