Re: Do you think a practice robot is needed to compete?

Not necessarily. First of all, let us recognize that even if FIRST compiled these metrics, they would have to be collected based on what teams say about themselves. So, all we need to do is come up with a way to ask every competing team the same set of questions. If we came up with a standardized set of questions, and sent someone "pit scouting" each event, we could compile a valid data set. I'm fairly confident that there are no regionals, and few district events which are not represented by someone on CD who could either do this pit scouting, or recruit someone to do so.

I've created this thread to try to generate such a canvas/questionnaire.
