## What It Is
|
|
|
|
The Blue Alliance is the authoritative source for FRC competition data — match results, team rankings, event schedules, robot videos, and historical performance. Crowdsourced by the FRC community, maintained by volunteers.
|
|
|
|
## Primary Use for 2890
|
|
|
|
**Team 2890 historical data:**
|
|
- Match results by year
|
|
- OPR/CCRM rankings
|
|
- Event participation history
|
|
- Robot videos (match footage)
|
|
- Awards and achievements
|
|
|
|
**Training applications:**
|
|
- Scouting data analysis (past match performance)
|
|
- Game strategy (historical data on scoring trends)
|
|
- Robot capability benchmarking (against other teams)
|
|
- Empirical decision-making (based on real competition data, not gut feel)
|
|
|

## Why It's in the Fabric
|
|
|
|
TBA provides **empirical data** — real numbers from real competitions. For training:
|
|
- Students can analyze match data for scouting practice
|
|
- Historical performance informs game strategy decisions
|
|
- OPR ratings show team strengths/weaknesses
|
|
- Videos provide concrete examples of gameplay
|
|
|
|
**Data-driven training** — instead of opinions, students learn from what actually happened in competition.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- 2890 new match results
|
