Adambots Automated Scouting Kit

Just a thought, is it possible for you to make a page that combines all teams together? I wanted to do some predictions of crazy matches (IRI type stuff), but there's no regional with enough of those teams to do something like that.

Absolutely, that's one of our plans for the immediate future. What makes such a task hard is the number of requests to the FIRST site necessary to gather the info for every team; all the processing is done client-side, so the number of requests to the FIRST site would be enormous, which is undesirable.

Luckily, my partner in this project came up with a better way to fetch and store so much information, and he began work on it this afternoon. We'll begin writing code tomorrow for global rating calculations and a corresponding match prediction tool, which we'll hopefully publish before the end of the day. (Last minute coding in the stands, as always!)

So cool

It's interesting to see the teams with a DPR of -24. It makes me wonder if that's a failure in the data or in the team.

I suppose it just means that in matches those teams played in, their opponents scored more than usual.

'DPR' might actually be another measure of schedule strength!

Will this be updated to include IRI?

Would it be possible to incorporate support for offline and unofficial events? The user uploads a table of match results and you calc off that?

Thanks

[Mr. B.]

Awesome job 245! I will make sure that my team's scouting and strategy teams see this link. This is very impressive, keep up the great work! Thanks again for a great run at the Palmetto Regional!

Any idea why so many of the OPR values differ so much from Ed Law's and FRC Tracker's numbers?

I spot-checked a few teams and didn't find any differences. Are you sure you're comparing the kit with Ed's per-event OPRs rather than the World versions?

This is fantastic, Adambots! Thanks.

Ed Law's Championship V4, Archimedes tab (and FRC Tracker, Archimedes data) has 987's OPR listed as 106.9 while Adambots lists OPR as only 85 and change for the division. Several other teams are listed lower as well same and other divisions.

There is an issue that was identified and discussed in another post. The problem arises when there are surrogate matches.

Currently, OPR is calculated using all matches and scores. Even surrogate matches for teams are included in the calculations. However when we calculate OPR for autonomous, teleop and climb, the total points used in vector b of Ax=b does not include surrogate matches, but the matrix A contains all the matches. This makes your team's auto, teleop and climb OPR smaller because you played 9 matches but only have scores for 8 matches. It is like you get zero for everything for one match.

Hence 106.9 for overall OPR is correct. 85.4 came from adding the auto, teleop and climb OPR and it is wrong.

This is one of my summer project to do. I have a few different ideas how to compensate for it, but I want to pick one that is most mathematically sound.

Thanks for the clarification, Ed! And please know that all of your effort is deeply appreciated.
