Post Success Metric

Basically, the question here is, is it possible to create a statistic to measure the probable success of a robot/alliance?
Details: Theoretically, given a field of any number of robots (around the size of a regional) assign those robots a number indicating the percentage of robots receiving a lower number. Be able to use this measurement to predict which alliance will win a match with reliable accuracy.

Is this possible, how accurate is it, and what is the formula to calculate it?
