Re: Performance Scouter

The program doesn't include bonuses or penalties. It would be hard to attribute a logo bonus to a single robot, unless that robot happened to be responsible for all three tubes. I figure that all teams will be going for the logo bonuses, so whether they can make a logo or not will be reflected in how many tubes they can hang, which the program does measure. While hanging over an ubertube might be slightly more difficult, I think that it's more a reflection of strategy and of what tubes happened to be available than of what the capabilities of a team are. Again, if they can hang at all for the ubertube's row, they probably will. It would be nice to measure penalties for each team, but sometimes it can be really hard to match penalties with robots, and penalty rates will hopefully drop anyway as teams gets practice, right?
