Go to Post Maybe next season I want to develop and test a new metric for FRC scouting: Bumper Quality Rating (BQR). BQR-5: The platonic ideal of FRC bumpers. ... BQR-0: Moderate to heavy use of duct tape. I believe BQR would outperform OPR as a predictor of on-field robot performance. - Nate Laverdure [more]

The year I saw the details of the actual selection process, it seemed to be more of an "Indiana bonus" than an absolute guarantee, but the bonus can certainly be sized to have the effect of a guarantee in practice. The committee worked very hard to weight various factors and let an algorithm rank teams rather than rely on subjective opinions.

There has been a repeated call for more Indiana offseason competitions. One effect would be to take the "local" pressure off the IRI and let it be more fully elite.
