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

If a ball bot is higher seed, I predict that bot will get the 40kPa bonus 66% of the time ==> 0.66 RP
If a gear bot is higher seed, I predict that bot will get the 40kPa bonus 22% of the time due to being paired with a 40kPa-capable ball bot 1/3 of the time. ==> 0.22 RP
Extra RP for Rotor Bonus I predict will happen once per Week 1/2 quals, or about 0.01 RP average.

Range: 2.03 - 2.47 RP. Choosing the higher poll option due to the amount of districts, where 1 loss means roughly 1.92 RP rather than 1.8 RP.
I don't think the OP was asking for the average high RP - it was the high average RP. So the #1 seed's average RP score.

I voted in the highest range. Here's my reasoning: I think there will be some robots out there that can consistently get a fuel RP solo. I also think there will be some robots that can consistently score 7-8 gears solo in teleop. It's not out of the realm of possibility for one of those dozen or so teams to have a favorable qual schedule with teams who can fill in the blanks to get the full 4RP, somewhere in the 48 events across first two weeks.

Side note: ten years ago, there were 38 official events total. Just. Wow.
