Truth be told, we didn't. Our robot that year really wasn't good enough to need scouting data. That robot was a ~60-70% robot, with not much of a chance of seeding highly. This years robot was an 80% or so robot, good enough that we'd have to worry about seeding. That's why I started looking at OPR predictions.

Like IKE said, its about that match that brings you from 7-3 to 8-2 that makes the difference. Predicting match results is not particularly good for mediocre robots, its only good for good or great ones.
