Re: Predicting Actual High Efficiency Goal Shooting at Worlds

1 out of _5_ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >50
1 out of _10_ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >100
1 out of _500_ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >200
1 out of _all FRC_ teams will have a median H.E.G. ball count that is >400

I have my estimates saying fewer robots will make 50+ or 100+ because of ball control issues. Many teams will have shooters that can shoot 3 balls a second at 70% accuracy. The problem is, they won't be able to effectively load balls from their hoppers to their shooters. Either, balls will load to slow, inconsistently or have jamming issues feeding from the hopper. I think about 10 teams will have figured out their ball management systems and had enough driver practice to score 200+ balls on average. I was originally going to say no teams would average 400+ balls a match, but then I thought of 2056. Every year since 2009 they have had simple, non-jamming machines that are just monstars at picking game pieces off the ground. That's just my 2 cents
