From my personal experience all I can gain from just looking at a robot is what they intended to do. I've seen robots that look like elegant monuments to the art of engineering, yet fail miserably on the field, and robots with chicken wire and plastic bottles that make it to Einstein. While pictures may do a little good for scouting and getting a general idea of what other teams may be attempting to do, nothing beats actually watching teams.
