Several matches (sorry, no details) were decided by minibots.

Edit: Looking at FRC-Spy (up top on every page) you can easil see which matches were decided by minibots. One out of 6 or so in NJ.

Minibots are a big deal statistically. At BAE the average winning/losing alliance scores were separated by about 30 points. After running through the numbers for FLR, Kettering, and BAE, a single winning minibot with no tubes scored could've won 75%+ of all qualifying matches.

yea, our very first match would have been a 36 to 12 win if the minibot was not deployed early, leading to a match score of 3 to 12. (It's a penalty and a tower disable if you deploy early).

On that note, for week two regionals, make sure you deploy as the color goes solid again, NOT on the Flintstones feet sound (like we did our first match). I have 0 idea why they did that.
