Until week 5, the mean elimination score for each week was beneath 100 (with it basically sitting around 80 points until week 4). Week 5 and 6 was right around 100. The median elimination score for the year was substantially beneath 100. The goal isn't to win a regional, but simply play in the eliminations.

A robot that can contribute in the low-mid 20s offensively (ie, autonomous and 10pt hang) and a bit of defense is more than adequate to reach the eliminations at a majority of events.

Though true, shooting this year was really easy. 2169 doesn't get much simpler. Yes they were super competitive and Galileo finalists. But their robot was a 1 wheeled curved shooter and a 10 point hang. They made 0-2(if blocked, though very rare) runs per match and scored 3 discs in auto.

The MCC, almost any form discussed here, this year could have won Einstein.
