I used data from the regional competitions to rank the teams in Archimedes.
I ranked them by overall win % in the qualifying rounds, and by another method I call the "Rob Ranking" The Rob ranking combines win percentage, top 8 qualifying, and being selected in the draft to rate teams based on how the have performed thus far.
T get the "adjusted win%" I multiply the teams win percentage in qualifying by 2 factors RSM (Rob's Seeding Multiplier) and RPM (Rob's Picking Multiplier).

RSM: A team gets 1 for ranking below top 8, 1.5 for ranking in top 8
RPM: A team gets 1.2 for being picked in round 1, and 1.1 for round 2

Adjusted win percentage is win percentage times RSM times RPM.

Please note that this data may not be accurate, I had a very hard time finding data from the first 2 weeks of regionals. Please let me know if some data for your team was left out.

Also note that this ranking is based only on qualifying and being picked for the eliminations, and not on elimination performance. If you think this should be included, please feel free to search through the records on usfirst.org for the data.

Disclaimer: These rankings are not meant to demean the teams who are ranked low. They in no way include a provision for teams improving between events. The data used may not be accurate. I think this ranking is best used as a means to identify teams that have already had success. Just because a team has a low ranking does not mean that they are bad, but teams with a high ranking probably are pretty good.

Have fun with this!
