Actually Steve, the match predictor was (unfortunately) quite accurate. We were 6-0 after the first day, that night you predicted we would lose the first match by a small margin (which we did), win the second match by a small margin (which we did), and lose the last match by a huge margin (which we did; it was 82-8, not 67-7). We had a good laugh about your predictions but the joke was on us. I'm still curious how your "luck algorithm" works.

This program was invaluable to us for selecting our alliance and coming up with strategies that allowed us to win the regional. We did not have the best robot there, but we were able to develop an alliance and strategies for every match with the detailed information, especially the percentages of shots made, times on the ramp, and autonomous mode success. Thanks for all your hard work on this program - I strongly encourage other teams to use it.
