Heh. The autonomous results are not an independent variable in determining the winner of the match. Car Nack's prediction is much like saying that "the team leading the Rose Bowl at half-time wins the game 80% of the time." It's true, but not terribly profound, since, in this case, winning in autonomous is a sign that the leading alliance has already scored more goals, and has robots good enough to score. Given the advantage that the order of defensive and offensive periods gives the autonomous winner, the deck is more stacked.

So Car Nack is right in this case, but I'd give him more points if it weren't such an obvious prediction.

Would Car Nack like to prognosticate about the likelihood of '07's game being the long-awaited aquatics challenge?
