This is significant for individuals or small teams that lack man hours to devote to scouting.
Unfortunately when you do that, you'll be setting yourself up for failure. You want to choose the robots that will best pair with your particular set of skills. Those robots could very well be misrepresented by OPR. As mentioned previously, look at 254's selections at CVR. They chose robots that are very compatible with their style of play even though they were near the vey bottom in OPR.
