Statistical Analysis of Regional Competion Scores

[rourke]

I compiled some basic statistics on the qualifying match scores of Regional Competitions through March 20th from the FIRST Regional Events Match Results web pages. Only qualifying match scores were used. Elimination round matches were not included.

The average score of ALL qualifying matches is 51 (you “hangers” have an above average chance of winning if you can do it consistently!). The standard deviation is 34. The highest qualifying score has been 200. Only New England has not had a “zero” score (lowest score is 5). 83 percent of all scores are less than 85. 97.5% of all scores are less than 120. New England’s average score of 72 is significantly higher than the other Regionals. Pittsburgh has the lowest average score of 41. The Arizona match results aren't posted yet, so I don't have any stats.

How does your robot stack up against these stats?
