I compiled some basic statistics on the qualifying match scores of Regional Competitions through March 20th. Only qualifying match scores were used. Elimination round matches were not included. The AZ match data has not been posted on the FIRST web page, so I've probably missed some good robots from the south.

FYI, the average score of ALL qualifying matches is 51. The highest qualifying score has been 200.

Here is a list of robots that have a documented qualifying average score of 80 or greater. I'd say that "statistically", these are the 'bots to beat - since they can consistently score highly no matter who their alliance partner is (which is why I only considered the qualifying match scores in the analysis). I apologize if I've missed anyone - and I'll keep this list "up-to-date" as more Regional Events are completed. If I've missed anyone, and you want to be on the list - send me your Team # and your Regional Event and I'll check your data.

94 Points Average (yikes!)- Team 501
90 Points - Team 236
89 Points - Team 254
88 Points - Team 311
86 Points - Team 753
85 Points - Team 222
82 Points - Team 650
81 Points - Team 69
80 Points - Team 1114, 233, and 945
