There are lots of papers ranking teams based on their on-field performance, but teams could also be compared based on the kind of awards that they win. So for every team I've made a ranking of the top 10 teams that do similarly at winning awards.
The format is as follows:
Code:
team_number[most_similar_team,2nd_most_similar,...]
Technical details:
-Data is taken from The Blue Alliance; fictitious teams exist if TBA says they exist.
-Similarity is calculated as follows: Sum of the squared differences between between each team's tendency to win an award type.
Where
Code:
award_tendency = ((# of times won) - (expected # of times won)) / (events attended)
where
Code:
"expected # of times won" = sum over all events attened( # of times award given out / # of teams attending )
Note that time doesn't come into this formula at all - winning something in 1992 is counted the same as winning it this year. Also note that this counts winning only "Engineering Excellence" and winning only "Innovation in Controls" as more different than winning only one of them and winning nothing.
Also, a list of least similar teams is not very interesting because it's almost always going to be a team that has only competed for one year and won a bunch of awards.
