Re: Is OPR an accurate measurement system?

With the data that FIRST provides through the FRC Event API, we can certainly do much better than your typical OPR. For example, I can pull down that data and know exactly which defenses were on the field and which of those were crossed and damaged in every match any team played in. I can know exactly how many balls were scored in which goals, how many robots challenged, and how many robots climbed. Proper statistical analysis (think OPR, but for each individual category instead of just overall score) can get you much more detailed and specific data. It won't be the whole story, but I would be willing to bet it would be more accurate than just the overall OPR. And more useful in assembling an eliminations alliance with the capabilities you want.
