Most people will claim they can score 50 pts or better but very few will truely succeed. My belief is that less the 70% teams will even score 20 points more than once, yet people will fixate on what is possible by the top 5% and think that the round team XXX scored 80 points is reasonable or normal as they do every year

I would set the over under of the average robot at 15.5 points this year.

That said just climbing and dumping to get 50pts is not a Championship winning strategy. It will probably work at a week 1 or 2 regional at most but the strategy has too many flaws particullary if that is how you play every match.

This! Why hasn't this received more attention! It's the best response out of this entire thread based upon my own experiences. And if you don't know, Peter's been to Einstein field more times than most teams have been to Regional Eliminations (every year, 2006-2011).
