On the contrary, the only thing to know is how do we score more points then the opposing alliance. The most important number to know is how many points does that team score on average. For selecting a team during eliminations, this is really the only thing you need to know, the only thing on the field that has a real limiting economic factor would be empty cells (at a certain point getting better with empty cells won't score you additional points as well as originally, a sort of declining marginal utility).
For strategy during matches, all you need to know is weaknesses. Is there any special way you need to use to pin a team? I plan on keeping a small binder for this purpose this year.

The smaller and more efficient the better. I plan to again use only one other person to help get all the necessary data, and zero pit scouting (at least during matches), those team members are better utilized cheering for your team in the stands or fixing robots in the pits.
