Re: A statistical analysis of the "autonomous advantadge"
I'll be interested to see what these stats reveal. If being on defense for the first period is a big advantage, will they show that when no one won autonomous the randomly picked alliance has the advantage, too?
If the finals in NJ are anything to go by, it would appear that besides the 10 points for winning the period, there is a real advantage to the autonomous winner. The 25/103/1279 alliance scored an average of 96.5 points in their elimination rounds, but in F1 they lost autonomous and just barely won the round 78:71.
Looking over my notes, I believe that the autonomous winning alliance won 11 out of 16 matches in the eliminations.
One of the things which really impressed me about the game play in NJ on Saturday was how teams adapted their autonomous defense to counter teams like 25 and 375. It was interesting to see the defensive robot driving into a blocking position in front of the goal rather than trying to ram their opponent.
