Yuck! SOS 74 out of 76....lets go partners, we gotta do better than that! Gonna have to come up with some creative strategies to maximize our skills together.

Planning has started already. Can't wait unil Wedbesday.

Ouch! We thought our 61 of 76 was going to be an uphill climb -- you're in an even tougher spot!

Then, looking at the average "SOS" for 1629 -- that's quite a hole, makes me wonder if it can even be correct, being over 20 points below 75th place -- but, assuming it is correct, it's cool to hear that they seem unphased by the challenge!

I've updated the table to include a "SOS difference from the mean" column. This gives a signal for just how much boost or hindrance the schedule might mean for a team's QA:

Don't take this table as gospel though - the max OPRs from previous events won't tell you exactly how much your alliance mates will help at Carson (as previously disclaimed).

... and I just read this post about the overly weighted influence of auto OPR on the predicted score. Oh goody, more work to do

Minor update to the canburgaling list...our 4 can autonomous ran successfully at the Upper Darby MAR District Event where we started on one side and then drove over to the other side of the field and got the other set of two cans.

Why would we be phased by the challenge? In 2015, we won a regional, and the Chairmans Award, what a great season already!!! Championships is just icing on the cake! We here at Team 1629 take everything in stride. To quote my 2 year old daughter "That's what you get and don't throw a fit". So when it comes to match schedules, that is the philosophy we use. The only thing we can control somewhat is the strategy that is played out in each match to maximize points!!! Good luck to all teams!

What a fantastic attitude! Sorry we're not scheduled to have a match together.

When I saw that there was an "SOS v2" I thought, "Maybe 1629 won't still be 76 of 76 in the new list." However, it looks like you still are bottom of the list.

However, 1519 is moving down to keep you company. We went from "61 of 76" in "SOS v1" to "73 of 76" in the new list!

We're looking forward to working with our alliance partners to come up with some strategies that defy the predictions...
