2016 World High Score

[JABot67]

Fouls should probably be counted in high scores, but let's be reasonable about it.

The highest score of 2014 occurred in Quals 4 of Greater Toronto East. The red alliance's score at the end of the match was 420 points - that's a huge score. However, 150 of those points came from Blue Alliance foul points. It looks like the Blue Alliance accidentally inbounded an extra ball, which comes with huge penalties.

The question is: Did the red alliance earn those 420 points? No. They earned 270, which, although impressive, does not surpass some of the other great efforts from alliances in 2014. That's why foul points annoy me sometimes - they make it so alliance's score doesn't necessarily reflect the outcome of their own efforts in a match.

It would theoretically be possible to have three robots in an alliance do absolutely nothing and sit disabled all match, and yet win the match if the opposing alliance was particularly egregious with fouls.

Not a good day for red alliances until the end

He only took the highest score from each event.

Not counting fouls would mean that it was not technically the highest score ever recorded. They are just two different categories. Ultimately it's all just for fun anyways.

What he said. I might be wrong I didn't it real fast, I'll build a scalable solution for the rest of the season later.

HH QT finale 8 had 133.

Other assumption I made: if there were two high scores, the tie breaker would be the opposing alliance's score. Call my logic weird, but a majority of the time it makes for better TV when watching Blue Alliance videos.

Looks like we are getting some very high scores out of GTR-East so far.

1114, 4525, 118 put up 167

4732, 2056, 2013 put up 175

[Ubiquity]

Semis 1 Match 1 Sacramento, 2016

1678 971 5274 701 3669 5924 205 86 No Fouls

I am not sure if 205 is the highest 'no fouls' score. Obtained by two high shooters (971, 1678) firing from the outer works so no defense is possible. Watch out world, the California teams are coming to St. Louis.

Previously we score 195 without fouls twice during finals at CVR with 254 and 3970. 205 points is the highest without fouls currently.

118, 16, and 3490 got 214 in the semifinal 2 with 25 foul points and 209 in finals 2 with 5 foul points. Without fouls they are the second highest by one point.

You can answer a lot of these questions using a little bit of Excel-foo with the attached files.

[Richard Wallace]

I don't know Excel-foo. However, just selecting column CB* in each of these files shows me that, through Week 4:

6337 qualifying matches have been played, with average scores 68.6 Red, 68.5 Blue, and high scores 175 Red, 167 Blue

1336 playoff matches have been played, with average scores 121.2 Red, 104 Blue, and high scores 214 Red, 190 Blue

----
*Edit: Ether pointed out that column CB is Blue alliance total score. Recalculated including Red totals in column AP.

[Cal578]

Finger Lakes Regional:

Qualifier 54:
Red: 20, 2010, 1765 Score = 93
Blue: 5254, 3044, 250 Score =157
Total: 250

Playoff Semifinal 1.1:
Red: 2791, 5254, 2383 Score = 156
Blue: 639, 20, 1405 Score = 165
Total = 321

Even without the 40 for 2 breaches, the semifinal is an impressive 281.

[Edit] My team, 578, was involved in the second highest (lost by 3 points - Argh!):
Playoff Semifinal 2.2:
Red: 1126, 2010, 578 Score = 156
Blue: 3044, 4930, 340 Score = 159
Total = 315

[Edit 2] Oops, I thought we were looking at total score. Let me take another look for alliance scores.
Playoff Quarterfinal 1.1:
Red: 2791, 5254, 2383 Score = 194
Blue: 1551, 810, 4023 Score = 99
Total = 293

I saw Bomb Squad, Robonauts and Viper Drive score a 214 at the Rocket City Regional in Huntsville, AL this past weekend.... they also put up scores of 209, 194, 198, 191, and 187. They were amazing..... we were on the receiving end of the 191 and 187 matches...ouch.

I'd just like to point out that the 194 was WITHOUT fouls, and no alliance member had a climb. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that alliance had what I believe was the most powerful high goal performance of the season so far, sinking 14 boulders including auto.

The 254-1678-3970 alliance maxed out at 13 at CVR, and 118-2056-2634-746 were hitting 12 at GTRE.

Shaker (2791) and HYPE (5254) were taking something like 8-9 shots each in tele. Combining that with one of the greatest steals of a 24th bot I've ever seen at a regional made for one of the most jaw dropping offensive onslaughts. FLR is always a good show.
