Numbers don't lie, but can be misleading if you don't properly anaylze them. Typically though, you want to use the day's performance for your alliance strategy. At the beginning of qualifications, I might take all teams' word on their robot performance, but my team is definitely watching and tracking every single robot that goes on the field. If things are down to the wire, I'll trust my team's data over anything else, unless the situation calls for a risky play.

If you want to make a video of your bot, or qualitatively describe its performance, go ahead, but teams will be keeping track of your performance. Inconsistency is not a good thing...
