In the spirit of the Erdős number that mathmeticians track, I propose that teams be assigned "OP Numbers", defined as follows:
  • Team 2056 has OP Number = 0. They are unique.
  • A team that has been on the winning alliance n times with 2056 at an official FRC event has OP Number = 1/n.
  • A team that has been on the winning alliance with any team whose OP Number is greater than zero and less than or equal to one has OP Number = 2.
  • A team that has been on the winning alliance with any team whose OP Number is 2 has OP Number = 3.
  • And so on.

To start,
1114 has OP Number = 1/16
1547 has OP Number = 1/2

The following teams have OP Number = 1
Spoiler for OP Number 1:

771
176
1680
2166
2609
2185
296
217
1518
3756
781
1219
4372
4001
2200
1325
4069
4814
254
865
5288
2852
3710
5719
4903
118
2634
746


Can anyone provide a script to calculate OP numbers for all currently active FRC teams?*

*Ether, you are ineligible. However, following your lead I will give rep points to the first CD student who shows a correct result, with sufficient detail to let others check the method used.


does "winning alliance" mean only regional winning alliance, or might it also include district, district champs, division, and/or champs winning alliance? also should offseason events be included? all of them? some?

How about we use any event for which TBA has data? I think those are real enough to count.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
