My comment was assuming practice matches on practice robot - not same as comp robot - practice matches on comp post season could be considered - in any event like all scouting to each their own, to judge of what a valuable metric is.
It may be interesting if others shared how many matches it took to find wear out modes? After early failure modes identified.
