Re: Introducing: CowScout

This is very cool. A couple questions:

How is CCWN calculated? Our team has been trying to figure out how to do something like this for a while, but it never got off the ground. It's good to hear that someone else has done it, but it would be quite interesting to see the math that goes into it. If there is a white paper for this, or OPR calculation available somewhere, I would be much obliged if someone pointed me towards it.

Some feature requests, pulled directly from our scouting databse:

We have a dynamically generated graph of the robots performance over time, which is useful, especially in week one regional to see if, maybe, a robot had a problem at the beginning of the competition but it got fixed, and might be a good second pick. Though your system includes this numerically, graphs are a great way to visualize it.

A section for comments, either on the way the robot plays, or just comments in general. We've also had sections on our database listing various stats about the robot: Drive train (a stat) and drive strength, as measured qualitatively by our scouters. If such a feature exists and I don't see it, please point me towards it.

As it is right now, I feel like it is missing a few essential features, but it looks fantastic nonetheless.
