A statistical analysis of the "autonomous advantadge"

[bombadier337]

From my own experience, the only qualifying match we lost was the one where our robot was not prepped before the match properly and our autonomous didn't work. The 10 point bonus is a huge difference is many cases, as it seemed most match scores were around 40 points. It also seemed many alliances could not score in autonomous, so even without getting many points you could get the ten point bonus. Except for 1610 and a few others, most of the high shooters were fairly inaccurate in autonomous, and the low dumpers worked well. Shooting low, we were making about 6 points in autonomous, and we then tweaked it to score 9-10 in autonomous. The only time we lost autonomous when it when it was working was against 1610.
