I agree and disagree. The 12 teams out of 2000 are not a simple random sample. The best teams make Einstein, and the best teams never have mechanum drives. The fact that the there is a consistent trend of simple 6WD's making Einstein and winning competitions speaks for itself. I don't think it's a coincidence by majority in numbers; it looks like a correlation to me.

(If someone has the number of mechanum teams in St. Louis, we could analyze whether the reality that they didn't make Einstein is statistically significant).
