I think the best source of information would be what teams have accomplished in real matches. My preference would be for a history of what each robot has done and in how many seconds for each match that they've been in. This may seem like an ambitious goal but if everyone worked together it should be no problem. This is also data the you should be able to get directly from the teams.

The big difference, as I see it, is you are gathering facts not perceptions. The reliability of a robot would also be reflected in this data, something that is very hard to judge without hard data. The only danger I see with a system like this would be you could miss things like Chief Delphi being able to remove balls from the goal at Great Lakes last year, though I seriously doubt they were giving that information away in their pits.

The real challenge as I see it is how to quantify the data so it is consistent and searchable.

IMHO

I may be a little biased since I do reliability based test development for a living. (Suppliers can't merely claim performance and reliability they have to demonstrate it to us in a test.)
