  • Therefore ball & gear bots will likely net the same RP in a 1-to-1 comparison.
  • Therefore gear bots likely rank higher than ball bots, all else equal (reference 2nd-order sort this year)
Points 1 and 3 contradict each other. If gear bots as a whole are likely to win more than 50% of matches vs fuel bots, then either gear bots had a >50% chance of winning matches or fuel bots had a <50% chance to win matches (or both).

Additionally, I don't see how point 2 leads to the conclusion of point 3. How do we conclude margin of victory in winning matches predicts winning more total matches, unless you are predicting a higher average points scored per match for gear bots (wins and losses), which means a greater probability of winning matches in the first place (counter point 1)?
