Useless FRC Statistics

FIRST General Forum
1

On any sports network, whether it be ESPN or FOX Sports or ABC, there are always statistics that are displayed that make you think “Who sat down and thought this statistic was important enough to research and confirm?” In recent years these outrageous statistics have included the number of gloves Matthew Stafford has put on in a single game to how the otherwise terrible Baltimore Orioles became the third team to win their third straight season opener on a walkoff play.

I would imagine the FRC is full of these useless statistics and I would love to hear them! FRC historians, fans, and statisticians, show Chief Delphi the most arbitrary stats you can think of!

Damn, Andy was literally at LA North as a robot inspector, I should have asked him how many they had left over after the season.

The subject seems like an obvious set up to get someone to say district points.

Looking at the insight page on TBA I would go with these for the past few years:
2020 - average control panel points per match
2019 - percent cargo scored top far right rocket
2018 - Average number of force played
2017 - Average low goals auto
2016 - Rough Terrain damage success rate

As I was heading to St. Ives Kokomo,
Upon the road were a dozen trucks;
Every truck had a dozen crates,
Every crate had a dozen boxes,
Every box had a dozen fuel cells:
Fuel cells, boxes, crates, and trucks,
Why doesn’t AndyMark have a ball pit?

If we get enough requests to have a ball pit at the Championship Events… :thinking:

Let’s say…5,000 likes/requests, and a proposal on how to keep everything sanitized, and I’ll talk to Andy about it.

Useless sports stats I like are things like “This team hits more singles on Tuesdays than any other day.”
I’m sure someone out there has kept track of their practice match record… or record when on the blue alliance vs the red alliance over their team history.
