2016 Curie Subdivision

[Gravity]

Another 5940 representative here! We are heavily invested at the moment to get scouting data compiled for each Curie participant. If anyone is interested in discussing tactics for this division/strategy in general, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Top 8 robots based on performance, or top 8 ranked robots after quals?

Here are OPR-based predictions for rankings in the division. Take these with a grain of salt; this year isn't a stellar year for OPR. YMMV.

Team 4329, The Lutheran Roboteers, are thrilled to be part of the 2016 edition of Curie and to unleash "Trogdor the Burninator" https://www.facebook.com/29426428730...121892/?type=3

As we breach and capture our way to the finals. Good luck to all!

I thought our schedule looked a bit difficult, now it's officially "most difficult in Curie." Yay.

Hey Scouts....

Personal opinion: 3990 (Tech for Kids) should be highly considered for any list of the top teams in the Curie Division. I was also impressed by the performance that 876 (Thunder Robotics) had at the Central Illinois Regional.

3990 and 2168 should be on that list, and not at the bottom of it.

I strongly agree that 3990 will be one of Curie's top teams. At Tech Valley, they were one of the most consistent shooters and climbers. They seeded third and were picked by the #1 seed, 359, and they dominated in elims.

When we change our calcs focus more on OPR we get a list that concurs more with some of the other lists.

1. 3339
2. 3641
3. 3990
4. 2557
5. 3310
6. 5803
7. 1983
8. 858
9. 166
10. 25
11. 321
12. 2175
13. 1511
14. 639
15. 1089
16. 5406

Our first list was focused more on probable ranking points at the end of each match.

The issue with using qualification rank to assess team strength is that strength of schedule and luck with alliance partners can bias results. Just last weekend, 1257 seeded 52nd of 60 teams at MAR CMP. We averaged of five low goals in a match, and maximum of seven, but had bad luck in quals with alliance partners losing comms and such. 225 (who told me their scouting does not consider qualification rank) and 341 picked us for what we could do, and we won the event.
