How many will continue to tell you they do it and are 110% accurate into the high goal? If the number of teams in 2014 who told me they always scored a ball in auto is any indicator it'll be something like the remaining 81%. And they'll all scream about me being "un GP" when I point out data to the contrary of their delusions.

I totally agree with you, the number of teams last year that told me (during scouting) that they could do multiple x stacks (like 3 stacks of 4 or etc), and would have them ready for me to cap off were huge. But when we got to the actuall match, they crapped out, did nothing, or could do maximum stacks of two.... at maximum. Some teams even pointed me towards their reveal video that showed them doing stacks of 5 and 6, but that was in a perfect world, on the field, they couldn't even do stacks of 3.
And one thing that really annoyed me, is when some teams had bots that were nothing but a drive train, and a simple grabber arm that could lift one tote at a time (don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with having a not as good bot, everyone has to start learning somewhere), but what annoyed me was when they started claiming they could stack a 4 or 5 tote high stack AND a recycle bin on top, but they could barely push one tote onto the scoring zone.
