Hey Teams,

To help with pre-scouting I have spreadsheets with the latest stats for each team. The stats contain the last event that the team attended. This should be very helpful for pre-scouting. Instead of having several tabs open analyzing each team, its all in one spreadsheet.

The source code is online - Github

For instance, you'd expect average scores to be higher for a District Championship than your average regional because those teams have already been selected to that event based on their performance. This means that absolute component point values would be higher for a robot attending a DCMP vs. if they were in your "average" regional.

In many ways, performances aren't comparable across events. All ranking values are ~2/3* the result of your alliance partners' performance, +/- any synergistic value between the individual teams. As a result, rankings are inflated/deflated based on your alliance partners at a given event.

As a result, none of the scouting done before champs can really determine anything except for general claims, but it's fun and interesting nonetheless



*This isn't ever true, but for the average robot, it's close.
