[2017] Accuracy of scouting boiler goals...

After analyzing how scouts would potentially go about tracking a robot's fuel scoring ability, I came to the conclusion that there is virtually no way scouts will be able to make an accurate count of how many "fuel" balls are scored in the lower goal of the boiler. A cursory examination of the game leads me to believe that many robots will be scoring at this goal in bulk (think a "dump truck" robot design) that could be putting anything from ten to a hundred balls into the goal. There is no way that a scout will be able to accurately count each fuel ball that goes into the lower goal. This inexactness is a potentially scary problem that should be recognized by the greater scouting community.

How do you guys think we should adjust our scouting procedures to adjust for this potential inaccuracy?
