Our scouting at the AZ regional was based pretty much totally on offense alone, we counted up auto, teleop and climb points for each robot, summed them for all the Friday matches, and used that to generate an ordered list. Result....we picked the #1 ranked OPR team first, and a very underrated team second. All three teams were offensive most of the time, but our second pick (3944) got drafted into defense mode for our semi's and shut down a full court shooter. Three offensive robots can do just fine at this game, as long as they're good offensive robots. Scoring is how you win matches.

Your regional may vary.
