If they only get 2 cycles of fuel and 1 gear, you can get a good idea of cycle time.

Would want to add notes afterward like they played mostly defense or two robots tried playing def against them the whole time.
Hold the Phone!
Cycle times are indeed important, at a high level of play it is important to know that a team can consistently do 3 consistent fuel cycle at 20 seconds apiece, a gear at 30 seconds, and the rest of the time is spent on 'other', you may be able to squeeze out another gear cycle. It is this reason that averages can be very misleading. When in elims the distribution of resources in an efficient manner is super important, the balance of absolute and competitive advantages dictates the scoring potential more than you may realize...
