I agree. It's not so much that rankings aren't accurate, but the sample size isn't big enough to yield a statistically accurate representation of the best robots. Teams only play 8 - 15 matches per regional (depending on the size). If they could play 80 matches or more, I think the ranking system would prove to be more accurate.
