Re: What will be the highest average RP in week 1/2?
Yeah that's another variable. If your bot is epic, you will have to worry about defense for the entire length of teleop. Being double or triple teamed, possibly. Defenders won't just be the least offensively capable robots on the other alliance. There's enough incentive for powerhouses to play defense too.

I voted in the highest range. Here's my reasoning: I think there will be some robots out there that can consistently get a fuel RP solo. I also think there will be some robots that can consistently score 7-8 gears solo in teleop. It's not out of the realm of possibility for one of those dozen or so teams to have a favorable qual schedule with teams who can fill in the blanks to get the full 4RP, somewhere in the 48 events across first two weeks. Side note: ten years ago, there were 38 official events total. Just. Wow. |

Not saying we won't see it more this year, just that teams seem to try to maximize their RP potential rather than play defense. Wouldn't be surprised if we see the same this year. |

This game will be played very differently in eliminations than it is in qualifications. My .02 |

If your alliance wants to show off to scouts in the stands by placing as many gears as possible, then perhaps you should continue placing gears. But from a purely RP-based approach, defense is the answer. Quote:
I'm just saying, maybe this year will be different, and defense will be played in quals. Just like the old days. ![]() Last edited by JABot67 : Yesterday at 13:00. |

Re: What will be the highest average RP in week 1/2?
My assumption is that the first pick Average RP for Week 1 or 2 is going to below 2.0
Unlike last year, those additional ranking points are going to be very hard to come by. The first thing to realize is that the 2 points for a win is the most important thing. All great teams will try to win first before getting the bonus points. So about those bonus ranking points. * 4 Rotors by one bot is highly unlikely so it will require two great gear bots paired together. But it will only be sporadic during elimination rounds during week 1 or 2. (Playoffs with its 100 point incentive are different story) * 40kPa is 120(!) balls in the high goal during teleop which is a whole lot of made balls -- even more unlikely is that it takes 360 by a dumper bot. Autonomous changes things, but I think very few excellent teams are going to be concentrating on scoring balls in autonomous during week 1 or 2 as the 20 extra points for the autonomous gear is the clear preference. Either of these require great teams paired together. That will open happen a few times during the elimination rounds week 1 or 2. And even the great teams sometimes get paired with bad partners and don't win every match. So I'm fairly confident that the winning alliance will be have an average of less than 2.0 RP. I suspect this will change drastically by week 6. |

*And does "first pick" mean first pick of the draft or first pick for all 8 alliances averaged? |

Re: What will be the highest average RP in week 1/2?
Just for right now, the overall consensus is normalish, and the average seems to be about 2.9. Some really good points have been made in this thread.
Getting 3 RP and getting 4 RP are going to be significantly harder than last year, as the tasks are "split", i.e. it's harder to shoot while gearing than it was to shoot while breaching, since you have to breach anyway to get to the courtyard. While I think many top 8 teams in week 1/2 will be at or below 2.0, I think at least 1 team will break 3.0. Hub City, Central Valley, and San Diego will be some of the regionals to watch. |
