2015: The Next Year of OPR?

[Basel A]

In 2014, the seeding tiebreakers were (after QS) Assist points, Auto points, T&C points, and Teleop+Foul points. These were each explicitly provided in the standings.

In 2015, the seeding tiebreakers are (after QA) Coopertition, Auto, Container, Tote, and Litter points. I'm hoping based on last year's precedent that we have each of those in this year's standings. That would allow calculating Container OPR, Tote OPR, etc.

Offensive Power Rating. It's how many points a given team contributes to their alliance's score, on average.

It's sort of like average score. It uses complex algebra where each team is assigned a variable, and for each alliance score you have something like A+B+C=48, D+F+B=26 etc. Then, it's like solving a really, really big system of equations.

We're having no issues getting newer noodles 45-50 feet every throw. Our concern is how they fly after they've been battered a bit.

Well, drive a bot over it a few hundred times, then practice, practice, practice! <----My Noodle Face....Who likes Litter?
