359 and 3824 where very close in both number of cycles per match and number of shots made, in some cases you may want to know if 359 could make one more cycle per match more than 3824 even if they weren't making all of their shots. There's a lot of things you can infer from statistics that statistics won't necessarily tell you. Both of these robots were so close in performance that you can't say that one was absolutely a better cycler than the other, all you can say is that 3824 tends to score slightly more points. In addition, 359 went for the climb much more often than 3824 did, which is also may have caused them to have a lower average disc score. And comparing either of these robots to ones like 1717 and 1310 is much harder to do because we don't know how either of them would perform if they weren't allowed to FCS or do ground pick up, they could be better, or they could be worse than 3824. There were a lot of robots at the top of Curie that were all very good and had very similar performance, it's really hard to say which is the "best" at anything.
