Top 10 Scoring Averages "over 80" by Robot

[rourke]

I compiled some basic statistics on the qualifying match scores of Regional Competitions through March 20th. Only qualifying match scores were used. Elimination round matches were not included. The AZ match data has not been posted on the FIRST web page, so I've probably missed some good robots from the south.

FYI, the average score of ALL qualifying matches is 51. The highest qualifying score has been 200.

Here is a list of robots that have a documented qualifying average score of 80 or greater. I'd say that "statistically", these are the 'bots to beat - since they can consistently score highly no matter who their alliance partner is (which is why I only considered the qualifying match scores in the analysis). I apologize if I've missed anyone - and I'll keep this list "up-to-date" as more Regional Events are completed. If I've missed anyone, and you want to be on the list - send me your Team # and your Regional Event and I'll check your data.

94 Points Average (yikes!)- Team 501
90 Points - Team 236
89 Points - Team 254
88 Points - Team 311
86 Points - Team 753
85 Points - Team 222
82 Points - Team 650
81 Points - Team 69
80 Points - Team 1114, 233, and 945

Awesome, thanks! Can you tag the teams with what regionals they went to, or at least how many?

[Joe Ross]

Just to clarify, these are the points that the team and their alliance member scored, right? Not the actual ranking points?

Yes - this is the "alliance" score.

Sweetness...any chance I culd get you to check team 66 2 GLR?

[MisterX]

I am not sure of anyother teams from UTC but I had gotten bored during prob&stat class and actually did some computations and I have figured out that my team, 521, was able to average 83 points during our nine qualifying matches

Hey, that was a sweet win at GLR for the Flyers. I paid a lot of attention to that Regional and was pleased to see two GM teams in the winning alliance. Unfortunately, your Q/scores of 70, 80, 60, 120, 75, 90, and 60 give you an average of 70. Still well above the national average of 51 - which explains why you did so well!!!

Oops, I gotta fix my Excel spreadsheet....Your scoring average is 79! Sorry about that!

[RoteAugen]

anyone have the official avg. including the finals for Team 138?

I'm missing the scores to a couple matches, but if they are not low-scoring ones, it would put our complete avg at 97 points

just looking for official confirmation on this one

[Xufer]

hmm
521 scores (110, 30 ,135, 30, 75, 75, 90, 100, 100) gives us an 82.777 <-- all the sevens are lucky ! heh numbers are fun

6.30 * 82.7 = 521 if you use significant figures ... lalala i have no home work ... ohh im bored

[rourke]

Oops....

Before I get crucified by all you stats experts out there, I had an error in my Excel spreadsheet ("measure twice, cut once" applies here too!). So I need to REVISE THE LIST (Upward!)

105 Points Average (double yikes!) - Team 501 (New Hampshire)
99 Points - Team 236 (New England)
98 Points - Team 254 (Sacramento)
96 Points - Team 222 (Chesapeake), Team 311 (Long Island)
95 Points - Team 753 (Sacramento)
94 Points - Team 650 (St. Louis)
91 Points - Team 69 (New Hampshire)
88 Points - Teams 1114 (Long Island), 945 (Florida), 233 (Florida)
87 Points - Team 571 (New England)
84 Points - Teams 237 (New Jersey), 219 (New Jersey)
83 Points - Team 131 (New Hampshire), 521 (New Hampshire)
81 Points - Team 181 (New England)
80 Points - Team 616 (Virginia)

I'm sure there are robots I've missed - particularly those hovering around the 80 points level (I’ll try to keep up with those that post responses)....In the future, I'll probably just keep a list of the top 10 average scores. The cutoff for that right now appears to be at 88 – so if you think you’re above 88 right now, then let me know. I'm sure that score will only increase in the next couple of weeks as experience pays dividends.

Yeah, I've gotten higher scores for each team I've checked. I think you may be dividing by (number of matches + 1)

Edit: looks like you've fixed it while I was composing this message.

Having calculated my teams scores, there seems to be quite a learning curve.

Our average qualifying match scores for:

Event 1 (BAE) = 55.6 points (8 matches)
Event 2 (UTC) = 108.3 points (9 matches)

This gives our overall average score of 83.5 points/qualifying match.

This makes sense to me because so many of the teams at UTC had already attended an event. I also think that the nature of the game this year lends itself to a steep learning curve. Many teams struggle initially, but once they find their specialties, they drastically increase their scoring. I look forward to some monster scores at nationals!

Good luck and have fun,

Rob

Check 1403 @ chesapeake. I got an average of 104 for them.
