Again same as someone scooping 27 and scores high 33% in 5s.

Main thing I would look for there is end kPa score contribution. Don't get me wrong, that will be tricky in itself (unless you have a counting app you can press), but it does combine accuracy, target, capacity and cycle into one.

Same with gear placements. Total gear placements with a note of did they specifically stop after rotor 2 or 4 (like if they're getting no help from the alliance and shift their focus to fuel) and if they are dropping a bunch in the way.

And of course climb
We will probably come up with a way to consolidate capacity, accuracy, and fire rate into a single value for sorting but knowing these important characteristics is fairly important.

For example, I would rather want my alliance partner to securely collect all 50 fuel from a hopper instead of having to contest for 91 fuel on the ground(as opposed to 50). Fire rate is important because you probably don't want an alliance partner to sit there firing very slowly for most of the match. If that's how they score, our alliance's gear output is going to be way lower despite how good they might be if they focused only on gears. A low fire rate also makes robots far more susceptible to defense. Accuracy probably isn't as important to know if you are able to have a solid estimate on how much fuel a robot scores in total, but that will be very hard to measure with some robots.

Low goals in eliminations can almost be more detrimental than helpful due to giving ammunition to your opponent. As for gears, if our scouters over 10 matches determine a robot picks up gears from the retrieval zone very fast and places gears very fast, it can be assumed the robot can do a lot of gear cycles very fast. That said, driver ability and drivetrain might be a factor as well.
