This is the lowest the tower has gotten so far at any event. Fun fact: the "-10" on the FMS overlay overlaps the white oval it's meant to fit in!

Ehter,
Would you be willing to graph Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4 in differenct colors or separate graphs?
I am curious about the possible trending.

So then will starting tower strength be changed for week 7 and championship events?

FIRST doesn't usually change fundamental game mechanics, so I'm guessing they won't. I could definitely see the tower health increase for post season events like IRI, though.

They actually clearly state that they may do this. Per 3.1.4 Blue Box:
"As the season progresses, TOWERS may become fortified to increase
their starting STRENGTH. While the starting STRENGTH of a TOWER
will not change between weeks of Regional or District Competition
play, the starting STRENGTH of a TOWER may be changed for District
Championship and/or FIRST Championship play. Teams will be notified
of changes in the starting STRENGTH of a TOWER no later than the
scheduled Team Update prior to the date of the event."

Is this what you had in mind?

I'm attaching an XLS instead of PNG so you can change the graph if there's a better way to view it.

Very close, and very useful. I was really interested in the percentage of matches, by week that had been fully weakened and in theory would be ready to be captured:
St-----wk1---- wk2---wk3----wk4
x<0 2.65% 5.51% 9.15% 16.65%

Now to find out percentage of actual captures...

Also, is this data per alliance or per match. It looks to be per alliance.

Yes, per Alliance. Each match generates 2 scores (one for each alliance). The X axis of the graph is number of alliance scores.

I would bet the game designers didn't think teams would be scoring so many boulders in a single match. This is reminiscent of the game "Missile Command," which could only show the last 6 digits of a score - so if you had a score of 2,650,000 you'd only see a score of 650,000.

Ahhh, good times.
