With our four data collectors in the stands, we only take quantitative data to gather the hard numbers. For that, we look at how many scoring cycles each robot was in and how much their scoring cycle was worth. We also look at how many high goals, low goals, and truss shots were made by each robot. We found that by finding out how many scoring cycles each robot was in and how much their cycles were worth, it gave us a very good idea of how well that robot was performing. For example, if a robot was in 6 scoring cycles during a match but only made 1 point during those six cycles, we would not consider it superior to a robot who was only in 5 scoring cycles but made 20 points. Did that make sense at all? I hope it did. So, for all the other teams reading this, do you guys use paper to take data? Or do you use an app? Or even another program to do it?
