TBH, when you ask for an opinion, you should get an opinion. When you ask for facts, make sure those facts can be backed up by real (and not interpreted) data. |
I think what this is all about is akin to a sport like MLB. People can debate endlessly which team has better strategies against which other teams and which players are the best in which situations but I think what would be most helpful would be the development and tracking of certain statistics such as ERA and all the other stats associated with a sport like baseball. This is particularly difficult though because of the nature of the changes in the game from year to year and the relatively short season. It would be extremely helpful if someone else could work with this, for instance, for this year's competition a stat such as points scored by all a robot's alliances when the robot was on them over points scored against during those matches for a certain robot would show good scores for offensive and defensive powerhouses.
Just throughing thoughts to the wind but maybe this is what people are looking for?
