Re: Open Challenge: Make a better FRC ranking algorithm
perhaps these arguements would be under a different category like "year to year" team rankings, and shouldn't make much of a difference to the "here and now", competition rankings. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I wouldn't want to see a completely uneven match in any of the qualifying rounds, because of a robot that isn't exceptional, put there because of its special circumstances.

Besides, the rating system does what it is supposed to do, and that is to seperate the robots from "best" to "worst". further more, if that doesn't do the trick, then the alliance selection does.

oh, high school students only stick around for 4ish years, so the "powerhouse teams" are really just the mentors
