Re: 2017 Proposed Scouting Methods

You can also simply have your pit scouters ask teams about their hopper capacity. There's going to be the usual dissonance between reality and what teams believe they're capable of, but it helps with making estimates more accurate to the robot's actual scoring ability. You can probably amend this by subtracting a certain percentage based on ball packing or how full they actually fill their hopper while cycling in matches.

It's much less effort to make educated approximations rather than spending a disproportionate amount of time on trying to be slightly more accurate.
