Scouting Aerial Assist After Week 1

[XaulZan11]

We are dedicating our best scouts to qualitative information, but still will be recording some statistics. We tested our data collection system out at Central Illinois. You can find the results here. With just two scouts and a quick 20 minute discussion, we were able to make a pretty good pick list which predicted most of the selections.

I think the best predictors of overal robot ability were 'average auto points', 'possesions per match', '10 pointers made per match' and '10 pt shooting %'. There really isn't one great statistic that can quickly and easily rank teams (in the past you could do total points scored, but that doesn't really work for this game).

For Wisconsin, we will likely add 'possessions lost per match' (for teams that drop the ball alot), 'human player loads per match', and fouls.
