Just to clarify my above post:

I would consider Precision how well the drivers drive. Although it is not easily defined it is very apparent which robots are well driven and which are not.

I consider Accuracy how precise the drivers need to drive to be successful. For example this year if you have a roller claw to pick up tubes off the ground you generally need to be less accurate then if you are picking tubes using the inside hole.

and Yes, the 12345 metric can be bias, however, it is not used to find a average. It is instead a tool for scouters to consider when making a pick list. It is not perfect, however despite all flaws it has worked amazingly well for our team. Combined with all the other scouting info it gives a great general idea of how good a team is at said function.
