Average score per match and cycle times

[dardeshna]

During the beginning of the season when working on strategy and prototyping, we try to predict possible robot cycle times and average points pet match. Generally, at the end of the season, we look back on these estimated values and laugh, knowing that they were totally unrealistic.

How do other teams predict predict cycle times and average number of points scored per match? Is there a rule of thumb people like to use?
