Re: Statistics on top 20 teams?
Well, I'm looking for trends. What do many of these teams have in common? Essentially, if there are common characteristics for these top teams, then this is something that others might like to know to improve for future competitions.

For instance, I was not aware of the whole mechanum wheel thing. Seeing that only 1-2 teams have ever made it to the finals with mechanum wheels should give a robot design team some cause for pause. It's not that a superior design won't prevail, but perhaps starting out with mechanum may not be a good idea when facing a challenge like Breakaway.

We've been getting some great responses so far. I'm on the road at the moment. So, when I get back home, I'll start collating the data and get some preliminary information back to the group. Thanks and keep the data coming!
