Wanted to expand on this one a bit if I may. All data is coming from descriptive statistics I've been developing over the last couple years. It's based on match results from the last decade of FRC events. [1]

Hampton Roads is looking like one of the most top heavy events in FRC this year (and potentially of all time) Of the 34 teams in attendance, over half (18) have NEVER played in the elimination tournament. There are 7 rookies and 1 new team that I assume is a split, so, doing math that would make PayneTrain proud, that means there are 10 teams that have consistently missed eliminations, at least SOME of them are going to be breaking that streak this weekend.






[1] It seems to be a fairly decent LF predictor actually...

CHS events are like playing a knockoff of Ontario Regional Simulator that forgot to copy the files for teams that are good enough to carry bad matches.

1418 won a match and got a breach with basically no one else on their alliance scoring

You see that as carrying a bad alliance; I see that as a necessary ability to even scrape the top 25% magnified by really bad partners or other circumstances.

I wouldn't say basically no one else. We were the only robot on the alliance. I was really surprised we won that match. If the other alliance had 3 instead of 2, I think we would've lost.
