You won't. Ball capacity will be tricky. Our plan is to use a combination of pit scouting and visual guessing on the field(bin of fuel is roughly ~50 fuel.).
But my question is, is it more important to figure out exactly what each robot did in every match or what their actual capabilities are? For example, a robot that does mostly gears but ball scoring when able to is going to have a very low average for ball scoring, whereas a team that only does ball scoring might have double or triple the average despite being a far worse ball scorer. For us at least, we will be caring more about how good robots are at each task rather than how many times they do it in a match. Of course I'm sure match data can be useful too. Especially for determining what the robot will probably try to do. I would just avoid arguments of this robot scores this many balls on average vs this robot when discussing who is the best at any particular task.
