IMO, judging from what I watched in Weeks 1-3, Tubes may give a decent gauge for OPR as it relates to tubes if the OPR excludes minibot. Yet minibots themselves can only come from watching the field since the data doesn't give a specific team for each bonus.
Maybe I should specify, ETC, EMC and ERC are a set of metric I came up with. They are still in their very early stages. Where they can tell you some things about some robots, for most robots its turning out to be more of a reliability metric. If you have bad match your ETC drops dramatically.

Also I don't mean to inflate the value of the ETC metric, they are simply something I have been working on and trying to get real feedback on.

I believe that by using my EMC I can estimate the way the race in each match finished, I am working on this right now. Hopefully this will give us a better reading on minibots. I also am working on a filter for the ERC that eliminates essentially non-contributors.

ETC stands for estimated teams contribution
ERC estimated robots contribution
EMC estimated minibot contribution
