Re: FRC Top 25- Preseason Ranking

Here is 'some' objective data for this topic.

My goal was to see how accurate the ranking was to actual team performance.

Criteria:
- Used Andrew Schreiber database to obtain team data.
- Count = Sum of Chairmans, Champion, and Finalist Medals.
- Teams ranked by Count Since 2005, then Count since 2008, then Overall team metal count.

Started with the Top25 list...as I researched those teams I added in any teams that jumped out or I was interested in seeing how they compared.

Not all teams are included, and I am sure there are teams missing from this data. Feel free to update or post additional data.

*Couldn't find data on 64, so 39th Aero is not fully represented.*

Obviously FIRST is not all about winning competitions, but I have never seen our students more inspired and excited about participating in this program than when a machine they helped design, build, and operate has just won a competition.
