Likely that the team had a tendency to draw penalties. The definition of OPR as I understand it is "the amount of points a robot contributed to their alliance on average". So if your team contributed negative points, then you were either such a liability that you hurt your alliance partner's scoring abilities, or you drew a lot of penalties.
As I understand it, you have to actively be an impediment to scoring (simply not scoring is not enough) in order to get negative points.
Another possibility is that the presence of your robot depressed scores on both sides. A dumper could conceivably do this. Collecting all the balls that would otherwise be shot into the high goal might reduce scores, although sw293 may want to confirm this.
