Re: Average Scoring for Individual Bots

You really need to account for scoring "efficiency" as well as for the score. A robot that scores an average of 30 points, but converts less than 50% of attempts is not as valuable to an alliance as a robot that averages 30 points but converts 75%+. Good scouting teams are not only keeping track of average scores, but they are also factoring in the percentage of completions (scoring efficiency) in ranking the best shooters. You don't want a partner that wastes all the balls (and precious time) just to get 30 points.
