Scaling

[hrench]

according to mojo371's statistics,

for the matches so far, about 2-5% of scaling opportunities resulted in a successful scale.

I expect this to improve greatly as the season progresses.

the 2% number is a really bad one. It would appear that a robot being on the field counted as an "opportunity" to scale. That is not anything close to an accurate success rate.

Warning wild guesses ahead:

From the anecdotal evidence gleaned from watching Palmetto and day 1 of the Toronto regional via live stream, the number robots that have climbers and attempted climbing is somewhere around double to triple the success rate listed in that spread sheet. From that we can GUESS that around 4-10% of robots currently intended to climb. This may change later as more and more teams start to utilize their withholding allowance to build climbers but the success rate relative to the number of total teams intending to climb will go down for a few weeks then go up during week 7 and at worlds.
