paper: OPR-based Ranking of FRC Teams over 2008-2013

[Basel A]

I created this spreadsheet for use in a discussion of the top 10 FRC teams of all time, but there seemed to be significant interest, so I updated it for 2013. Using raw data from Team 2834's Yearly Scouting Databases, I found the Average Event OPR for each team over each season. This data was used to rank teams by their average yearly rank and their average yearly z-score.

If we are to trust OPR, then 1114 and 2056 are by far the best teams of the past 6 years. If you're looking for a rough top 10, it goes something like this: 1114, 2056, 987, 67, 254, 469, 111, 1717, 25, & 33.


Remember that OPR isn't perfect or close. Don't take the results too seriously.

Includes filtering by location (state and/or country). Incorrect Locations should be minimal to non-existent, but please let me know about errors. Only the USA and Canada can be filtered by state/province. All other countries use "Other" as the state.
