Re: IYO, whats most important

While all exterior data should be recorded, especially given the random pairing of opponenets and allies in qualifications, there is ultimately only one stat that matters.

In hockey terms, "+/-". How many points did they score (counting their human player) and how many were scored on them?

Assuming an evened schedule (of not only the "quality" of teams, but the play styles as well), this will show what teams are the best.

Now, given a 7-12 match sample size, it's unlikely that a perfectly balanced schedule will be constructed. So, keep track of who the opponents and allies were, what their play styles were, and how they complimented/detracted eachother.

Look for outliers, and note the factors. Did a bot break down (on either alliance)? Did they have an alliance partner pin the opponent to help them score? Did they get pinned?

Note these outliers to see what play styles will best complimented their abilities, and use that knowledge to your advantage.
