What could possibly be more important than an objective measure of how many points a robot scores? With 100 teams in a division and a dozen or so students watching matches, trying to get consistent comparisons between teams without some objective metrics is impossible. I don't think a purely number-of-balls pick list is a good idea, and qualitative statements are important, but the more you can make objective, the smoother the process will be.
