It's all about what their robot does do, on the field. Our (mostly) identical practice bot was shooting 95% from multiple key locations on a practice field, but our competition bot was shooting about 10% when we hit the real field (due to software issues). But on Thursday, we were telling people we could shoot 95% because we didn't know otherwise yet.

Agreed. Pit scouting has proved incredibly unreliable to us.
