If people played without PDA's back when FIRST had this addiction to nigh-impossible-to-calculate-in-your-head multipliers, then we can play without PDA's now. - Ian Curtis [more]
One of the students on my team created an app to calculate OPR over a lot more than just the final score. Using the FRC Event Api (https://usfirst.collab.net/sf/projects/first_community_developers/) we can get just about any piece of information the field records - high goals, low goals, challenges, scales, captures, defense crossings and breachings, auto stats. So, we calculated the OPR for every individual item from Palmetto in week 0.5.
This is a new scouting database with a new measure to rank teams, in addition to Offensive Power Rating (OPR), that takes into account both offense and defense.
