Re: Alliance Selection Strategy
I would just like to note that if you are picking a robot for the sole purpose of offense OPR is the best system you have you don't already have a scouting system. The OPR ranking has a .9 correlation with our teams actual, quantitative offensive ranking of teams (how many points each team actually scores in a match) so when you say OPR isn't accurate at telling you which robots are good offensive bots you are wrong, it is 90% accurate. For your third alliance partner you need to completely ignore OPR and seeded ranking and just look at what robots fit your strategy best, that might be a defensive robot with nothing but a drive train, or it might be a robot that can feed you disks half-court from the feeder station (if you have a aground pick-up) or it might be a bot that can climb for 30 points and stay out of your way for the rest of the match.
TL;DR: a good scouting system is irreplaceable, however OPR does tell you, with 90% accuracy, which robots score the most points consistently (this may not mean they are the best pick though).
