Hello CD,
While watching the last few weeks of competitions, I came up with an idea for a quick ranking system that would, using a very simple equation, estimate a robot's value in eliminations, for scouting purposes. The two goals of this ranking system would be to reduce the value of the Co-Op stacks to that of a grey tote stack, and also eliminate the value of the litter, as they're not really, for the most part, scored by the robot. Here's the equation:
ARR=((.2*COOP)+AUTO+TOTE+CONTAINER)/MP
I made a
google doc for the Reading District Event that takes copied and pasted data from
here and calculates their ARR rank and the difference between their Qual Rank and their ARR to sift out the teams who are ranked highly because of litter and co-op stacks.
What do you guys think about this method of ranking for scouting?
Thank you!
