5.3.6 Qualification Seeding

[Justin Montois]

In the manual it states the ranking system as follows


1st order sort
Qualification Score

2nd order sort
Cumulative sum of Hybrid Hoop points

3rd order sort
Cumulative sum of Bridge points

4th order sort
Cumulative sum of Teleop Hoop points

5th order sort
Random sorting by the FMS

Emphasis Mine

Im wondering how FMS will be able to tell which robot is doing the scoring in Hybrid/TeleOP

My only guess would be it's the cumulative sum (For example) of all Hybrid scoring done in all matches you're in regardless of who's actually doing the scoring.

Anyone think differently?

I would imagine that's what's how it works, because it would be rather odd (and a rather large waste of resources) to see 6 people each watching a different robot just to keep track of qualification score TIEBREAKERS. If the FMS could do it, then it would be worth it, but since the FMS is currently unable to determine who scored, it's not worth the resources.

Another thing, if it was done by individual scoring, then feeder or defensive robots would be father down on the seeding list in any particular bracket, which would mean there would be no incentive to play anything other than offense.

Stuff like this in the past has been cumulative points of the whole alliance. For example in 2010, a robot that couldn't hang could have some hanging points because their allies hung in some matches.
