I talked with 40 teams at Cass Tech today (pits only). Of those forty teams over 20 teams to me the could (and most said often did) score between 7 and 20 moonrocks each match (with the robot). There were only a couple I felt were being perfectly honest. One was a rookie team that when i asked them to explain their machine, the guy was very honest. he said, this is what we designed, but honestly we have mostly just been playing defense because most others score better than us.
I am not skilled enough in the art of interegation to get everything from the pits. Arena observation at a minimum and data when it is useful/possible.
