You get the penalties assigned to every alliance as a whole at least as far as I remember the scoreboard. That said, there is no way you can efficiently monitor penalties per team. Therefore, I don't really see how one can use this option regardless of the evident importance of spotting and monitoring teams which don't really play fairly.

This year, unlike other years, at the end of each match on which penalties have occured, the Game Announcers announce the exact number of the violating team and the desription of their viloation - this way following penalties will be easy to do.

Given the nature of the matches though, I don't see how this type of data can be collected. It would be more than extremely difficult to count the number of cells left in every trailer following each and every match. From the stands, unless you employ some wise methods which I cannot think of, you simply cannot count the cells efficiently, correct me if I'm wrong. Besides, you have to count as many as 6 trailers! Looks to me like science fiction.
Moreover, if you take the number of cells entered by a robot plus the number of cells entered by a payload specialist to the same bot and do that for every opposing bot, you get the total number of cells in the trailer. It requires coordination with a group of fellow team members and in that way it might be feasible.

Is there anything wrong about having 6 people scouting any match? Many teams can afford it. (and you may also just have 4, couting 2 trailers for each alliance, and the remaining number will be what's left to fill up the total number of balls in all trailers, which is shown on the main screen of the event).
Counting Moon Rocks doesn't have to be that accurate for you, an estimation is good enough, and i also think that's what they are looking for, astimations of +/- 3 rocks isn't much of a difference and will eventually even up.



Can i get this software to test by myself, screenshots aren't really enough when your'e going on saying "beta testing needed"
