Re: Open Challenge: Make a better FRC ranking algorithm
I think FIRST should be more like the Olympics

teams are scored not only on technical aspects of the game (whether a ball is placed in a goal....)

but also on style and artistic expression!

At the end of each match the 10 judges along the sideline would hold up cards, with their scores for both the winning and the losing alliance.

This would eliminate the need to base scores on the losing alliance, because, while you can help your opponent fix a mechanical or electrical part before a match, there is no way you can teach a clutzy robot artistic expression in 1 day!
