i know we have in the past looked at mainly numbers. Like number of balls scored/attempted, HP balls scored/attempted, EC's ran to HP, SC's Scored. In previous games we'd look more at autonomous routes.

This is my first year in the stands, but what I've been looking at is speed and consistency. You could be a really fast scorer but if nearly all the balls end up on the ground that’s not good, and also a very accurate robot that is slow is not so good either; differences raw numbers sometimes fail to pick up. I would make a note of teams that failed to move during auton, or entire match. Look for jams and failed mechanisms. Then I'd try to the best of my ability unbiasly rank the teams based on speed for different parts (i.e. a shooter/dumper was fast, but their loader was slow). Then i could use this data with the others that have more of the raw data to help make a pick list.
