Re: Scouting sheet input requested

That is a pretty good scouting sheet. I do, however, have a couple of suggestions.

- we like to use scale of 1 2 3 4 5 (circle one) to judge things like speed, driver precision, tube pick up speed, and other qualitative yet important bits of data. We have found that although people judge the scale differently when you put all of a perticular robot's scouting reports togeather it gives a fairly clear idea of what that robot can do.. anyway, it's better than "fast- (yes) (no)."

-Our team is old fashioned-we also use paper. We like to fit every team onto one page and file them away. Every page has probably 8ish matches per sheet so nearly every match of every team is recorded and filed. We have found that this goes a long way in staying organized when using a paper system. Theres no, "wait wheres team #### I though you had their 3rd match? Where is it?" etc.

-We also like to have lots of people cycle through match scouting. We have several main scouters which are filing and keeping control over the match scouting, one or two who go and pit scout, and 2ish mentors who make specific notes about robots (which will need to be further reviewed on Saturday), take pictures, and keep general tabs on the overall scouting process. It's a good system which has worked very well for us in the past.

Again, good start.
