I have started an excel spreadsheet program that will help factor luck out of the equation for rankings.

Please take the time to look at this spreadsheet. If you have any questions, please post or PM me. The format is quite crude seeing as I made this in a short amount of time, but I plan to further the development of this tool to help aid in team selections at nationals.

Remember you can't really quantify what team is the best off of just a few factors. A team that doesn't have a good score can be very good, or a team with a high score can be low-quality (for example they might have unreliable electricals). The best robot isn't the best shooter, or the best defender, or the best picker upper, it's a combination of good components that work together well. In my experience, the only thing that would be able to take all the factors and spit out good, reliable, accurate rankings is an experienced human with a photographic memory.
