Good point (and we need to make the default sim's driver's station perspective more accurately represent standing in a real driver's station). The exhibit probably would not have a real drivers station, but it might... If the exhibit comes to pass, then for the duration of the exhibit we probably should have the player's viewpoint match the viewpoint they will have using a real bot (unless the real viewpoint is just too screwy for use in the simulated match).

Along the same lines, if someone miraculously scores a kinetic ball from the defensive zone, is that
1 + 1 + 1 + 2 = 4.5? (block + def->off + score)
Two answers:
1) All good questions to be answered before a system like this gets used.
2) I dunno! I literally spent no more than 10 minutes on the whole idea and most of those were spent writing and editing the post.

Assuming some method of picking one "winner" needs to be implemented can you think of any better method than a tuned set of heuristics that track moving balls toward and into goals?

Does anyone think any other criterion is better, or that should also be tracked?
