Noticed any patterns?

[psquared]

considering that FIRST has only been around a short while now, it seems improbable to extrapolate a pattern or conclusions with such a small data set

also, i doubt they would make any patterns, b/c the heads of FIRST know how smart the kids are that participate in the competition, and they know that at least one would figure out the pattern, if they figured out a pattern, the 6 weeks could almost become null because a team could design months in advanced if they knew the competition

also, there seem to be a lot of ideas flying around here, so you guys should know about Occam's Razor:

In its simplest form, Occam's Razor states that one should not make more assumptions than needed. When multiple explanations are available for a phenomenon, the simplest version is preferred

here the simplest explanation is that there is no pattern

this is just my two cents, i could be fully wrong
