If you look here, you can see a discussion of how to rank defensive robots that i think makes some very good points. You might want to consider it before going forward in that category.
Are your stats that you give each robot going to be based on the pure game data recorded by FRC-Spy, or are you going to use scouting data from teams at the events. I wonder because my regional (Utah) is very small with only 29 team, and since most are rookies or second year teams there will probably not be great reporting.
If there is anyway I can help I would be more than willing to, your site is amazing, and I am greatly impressed by it!

Actually I pull data from the twitter feed. @FRCFMS
They post after each match. So I will have stats updated within a minute of each post.
The idea was to create a stat system that was completely automated.
Many people view on the scouting pit. Only a few actually register and post.
Its this realization that led me to create an automated system.
Also it is important to note that the FRC ranking algorithm, does not pick the best team, but rather the best fairest team. Say team 1 wins 100-0 every match and team 2 wins 100-90 every match.
Team 2 is viewed as the better team. But you better believe that if I'm picking an alliance partner, I'm gonna pick team 1 over team 2 any day of the week.
I have also worried about the defensive ranking, but I think my calculation is pretty sound. The idea is for each category, I calculate a team's share of the points. So for defensive:
I look at the total points scored against a given team. Then for each match I compare this to the total points scored against all 3 teams on their alliance. The idea is a good defensive team on average will have a smaller sum than most of the other teams. Thus thier contibution to defense will be greater.
By calculating it on a match by match basis it helps to paint a "truer" picture of a team's stats. It helps to lessen the impact of a blowout match.
My hope is to display the stats for a given team in a madden fashion, where each category has a bar which reflects your rank.
I think when looking for a truly great defensive alliance partner, their stats will speak for themselves.
Thanks again for the support!
