We make videos of all of our matches so we can go back and look for improvements in the robot and the driving. Using the videos, I've kept track of all of the points our robot scored during qualifications at both of our districts so far. OPR has been within 10% of our actual average at both events.

We are starting to do that analysis for Grand Blanc. I have done it on a piece-meal basis for many other teams and the +/-10 is a pretty good rule of thumb this year, but there have been a handful of outliers (as to be expected). At Waterford, on firday night scouting, a team had an OPR between 15 and 20 pts (after 8 matches), but they were not even on the field for about 6 of those matches.
And of course our "actuals" are only as accurrate as the scouts. In general, they do a really good job, but I do frequently find errors (one scout recorded 33 putting up 8 discs in auton
)
