It's something you'd review friday night (maybe saturday for procrastinators) to compile your pick lists, not the pick list in itself.

I see as much value in the outliers as I do in the averages. As you review the data, if you notice that time after time scoring teams have good matches when paired with Boxbot A, you might want to pick Boxbot A.

+/- serves as a statistic that will enable quick evaluation of the total data. It will enable you to see how consistent robot's are, as well as quickly identify outlier matches so you can determine what caused them (whether it be a mechanical failure, match-up against strong opponents, or a good partner).

Ahh yes...I see where we were not seeing eye to eye now. Yes I agree completely...the outliers have as much value as the averages.
