Re: 2017 Proposed Scouting Methods

High speed camera footage. The only problem is finding someone willing to sit in a corner the entire tournament watching 1/2 or 1/4 speed footage and count balls flying in the air. I'm not sure if there are enough sugary treats in the world to bribe someone into watching that all day long though.

In all serious, some sort of estimation is going to be needed. I'm curious to see what data the FMS is going to record. If it distinguishes between high and low boiler fuel, you may be able to run an OPR-like algorithm against those values, and then compare to your scouters' estimated values. It's not going perfect, but it provide that balancing force if two different scouters estimate differently. This won't account for accuracy obviously. Arguably accuracy matters less if the total number of balls scored on average by one team is better than another during the entire length of the match.
