- Counted objects and TRUE/FALSE show the largest number of any given object used in any one match (i.e. if a Robot had 2 Encoders in match 1 and 3 Encoders in match 7, 3 will be reported). Language and Framework report what was used in the last recorded match.

Also, I am pretty surprised by the Language numbers. Unfortunately I don't have a source, but I clearly remember hearing a few years ago that the split was about 50% Labview, 30% Java, 20% C++, and a small handful of Python users.

Many teams shift languages over the years. We helped two local teams switch from to Java (IIRC both from LabView) this year, as well as two rookie teams to start on Java. I'm sure there are teams going other directions as well.

Me too. Lythgoe says I'm nobody .

Edit -finding 3946:
with Rookie Year, Language, Framework, and minimal numbers for CANTalons,Talon SRs, and solenoids, down to 2. Several further points indicate that we're record 1603 in the table. A few interesting things learned there, most of which are confirmed as I view our source code.

Ah thanks, that's what I get for skimming article.

Seems like a sub-par way to collect data as "oh we had a victor on hand for this quick fix then swap it back out to a talon when it gets in" I'd almost like to see the final state numbers for teams.


Edit: Also - I really wish this wasn't anonymized data.

Me too. I would love to be able to correlate this to teams to see what other teams are doing.

I don't know if they didn't release it because maybe this is data we as teams never actually consented to release? I wish we knew because personally

A) Let's not pretend I read that form

B) I don't really care whether or not people know which of the 8 2000RYs that used C++ we are...

95% sure that row 130 is 254.

Here's some de-anonymized data from a survey I took on /r/FRC a while back.
