Re: What will be the highest average RP in week 1/2?

At start of season, I would have thought about a little over 3 because their is bound to be a robot somewhere that goes undefeated and gets kpa bonus. Now, I think it will be around ~3.5. Most teams I know that are focusing on mostly gears seem to be able to get a surprising amount of cycles. I think most are underestimating just how many gears will be scored per match. The artificial boosting of the first gear value I think also made gear robots more desirable(120 to 160) as a design choice. Overall, I think at some event, a robot will go undefeated, get their kpa bonus each match, and get all four rotors spinning for half their matches.
