How do you rank?

To touch on SW923's point

Let me give you a little touch on what is going to happen as far as scouting for us(1251) at NATS


We are planning to have 6 people with a laptop each inputting data into our scouting software (which in the Power Ranking site you can look at the reports) and then on fri we are going to take all the scroes from every matc (hopefully all divisions) and we are going to put it in our Power Ranking

as far as scouting

if we end up top 8 (hopefully) we are going to look at the robots in our Power Ranking who are from the middle up and then we look at the scouting reports and analizer the teams strategy

if ou have a team that is up top on the rankings but when you look at the reports you find that maybe they are not the best robot and they got upthere becase of maybe good alliance partners then we mioght move on to the next robot

another example would be if we look at a robot and they have the same strategy as we do we are not going to put them on top of our list

it is all relative, if we look at the top 5 teams on the RPI and then compare them to the reports and they all have the same strategy it doesnt mean that they are the best of the best

also if we find a good team on our reports and then we look at the RPI and they are doing bad it doesnt mean that we are putting them down it might just be that they had some bad luck

we use the RPI to help us rank teams in a different way than FIRST
we use the Reports to help us look at the weak and strong points of a robot and then compare them to the power raking
