Re: Statistics on missing practice matches?
To shut out any teams because of what happens on the practice day would not be an intelligent move. Many teams use that time to modify their robots, or even just get them working. IIRC, team 233 has spent the first day of many competitions just getting their robots completed, but once they'd take to the field, they would dominate.
Our scouting system takes very little data on the practice day. Last year, we basically recorded who showed up and if they moved. However, when qualifications start, we take extensive data on each bot on the field, and analyze it to see which teams are functioning consistently and what strategies would be best to employ. This is how we make our selections.
Wait for the real matches before you make any decisions. Sometimes even great teams don't come around until the end of qualifications.
