Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

I started looking at this last night and am developing a plan/ implmentation for an excel based scouting system similar to the one I did last year. (as seen here)

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

yea i saw that i used that to help start our scouting sheet. Ours doesnt have that much detail but it allows you to easily write down some of the important information. Thanks for the start off.:)

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

I am working on a scouting databse which when finished i let you take a look. It's for the Greater toronto Regional

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

Where do you get the team data before the competiton? Do you get it from the information on the usfirst.com site for regional teams?

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

Kudos to Greg for that excellent setup- that's what I found and brought to Palmetto for our scouting there- Team 16 (Bomb Squad) ended up picking us for their alliance partially because of our scouting, and we ended up making it to the third game of the finals with it. I highly recommend considering his (we're going to try and build our own this year, but we'll probably look at Greg's for inspiration and in case our's doesn't work).

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

We are using Pocket PCs to do some of the minor scouting and forms similar to previous years for the detailed scouting. The PCs will be used for keeping track of points scored and less detailed aspects of the robot. Then we can put it all on one excel sheet and not have to rummage through all the papers as in previous years. The other papers are used for comments and detailed descriptions of the robot.

We are trying to go back to our Palms that went haywire last year. We used MS Access the previous years, and we are going to try and get them back up and running. Anyone have any other options that we can use?

We have an Excel spreadsheet which anyone is welcome to use. The fields highlighted in yellow are editable, while the others use formulas.

HAHA! Beat you to it Greg! See you on Saturday! :yikes:

Since no one's made a pit scouting sheet yet...

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

We are scouting on a robot/round basis rather than a robot/regional basis. We put all of the information for that round for a particular robot on 1 sheet (1/3 of a sheet) and when done, file it away.

Later that night, I combine all of the data and put it in an excel file for easy viewing.

It is our first year trying this system so hopefully it will work out.

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

I'm currently working on a scouting sheet, but I still need a little help. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for the matches, as to how I can create a scouting sheet for that. I'd really appreciate it a lot. Thanks a lot.

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

What are the robots supposed to do? Break that down into individual tasks, then put those tasks into an Excel spreadsheet or something similar. Weight each item depending on your robot's capabilities and you're all set, other than giving a copy to each of six match scouts.

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

Too complex dude ... KISS
I finished ours today, basic simple one, it has worked great in the past.

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

Typically teams use pit scouting info just as a quick reference and treat it as secondary to match scouting. THe more info you have the less often you need to send some one to get more info right before a match.

Re: 2007 Scouting Sheet
 

that is true, but having a separate scouting sheet for the matches and for the pit area is also helpful when looking at alliances because the scout can see if what another team said about their robot was really true. you know, if the robot succeeded its expectations.

Here's what 662 will be using.

Focus is on significantly reduced paper-work, ease-of-use, important information available at a glance, and aesthetic appeal.
