At the start of every season, we try and calculate the score of a given robot archetype on an empty field in a match. For time values, we take a rough approximation that's partly heuristics and partly having a human being perform the task.
These scores give us a baseline to work off of when we're deciding what type of robot to build.
In addition to counting how much score we contribute, we also create a short list of things that we require from our alliance partners to get our 4RP every match (assuming win).
