Some good things have been said about people only being able to report on what they have seen, and sharing scouting.

I would like to add that more use can be made of the robot showcase here on CD, for pictures and links to videos.

As for bias: You need to understand where people are coming from when they post, there are probably no unbiased comparisons of robot performance until you can see them together on the field in Atlanta.

With this in mind there is one solid source of unbiased information. All the regionals are competitive (you may think your local regional is more competitive, but that is a very subjective argument), so if you want to know which teams are really performing look at the Regional Winners and Finalists. To make it to the finals of a Regional requires a robot that functions well and a drive team that knows how to work with their alliance partners. These teams are the ones to watch in Atlanta.
