Re: Scouting sheet input requested

Looks pretty good, but theres a few things I personally would take out because I simply don't see how it's useful. Remember that a lot of times scouts resent their job if they know that the information isn't going to be used. And a scouts job is made easier (and therefore the information is better) when the questions are succinct.

-I don't think someone ranking teams will care if the team loads over the top or through the slot, as long as they load quickly. However, knowing if they can floor load is important.

-I also feel that "Did they drop tubes?" is an unnecessary question. Every team is gonna drop a tube now and again, but I would say that if a team has a regular problem with holding onto their tubes it would be a good comment to make.

-I think that the place (1st-4th) or an apx. time would be sufficient in replacement of the two questions "Did they deploy a mini-bot?" and "did it reach the top."

In general, I've found that scouting sheets that short and sweet and to the point are the the best. Also, quantitative values are typically easier to use in a scouting meeting than qualitative ones.
