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.

I think the OP was meaning to give out the info for the robot info, not match info. But, like you said, the best stats are the ones directly in a match. As my mentor always says, "We need to be all action and no talk". Of course, talking is still great, but you understand the quote.
BTW, what was the difference between the software used in Chesepeake and the software used at SVR that messed up your robot? 192 deserved a muc higher rank than you guys had.
