Its easy for a single scout to track dead robots or any other measure throughout a competition and apply it into an OPR calculator. While this isn't as good as having experienced scouts watching every match some teams might not have enough experienced students to scout every match.
I have found that actual objective data collected and used by our students to make decisions sometimes yields what some would consider questionable decisions.
Sometimes teams don't know what data should be collected or overlook a key feature of the game. OPR can help account for a team's contribution even if they aren't the robot actually scoring the points or they do something significant that isn't accounted for in the collected data.
