I think there are a few biases at work:

*outright lying - probably minimal on CD

*optamistic conditions - remember the robots that could stack like eleventy seven crates in the pictures. Well maybie so under idea conditions, wil ideally placed game pieces and no interference. How much stacking did we actually see? Fairly little.

*untested conditions - I think there are alot of guestimates in various polls occuring because teams have not actually tested their capabilities or finished their robot.
