Re: Scouting sheet input requested

Remember, the most important part of scouting is having actionable data. Data your comp team can use in their matches, and data you can use to make a good pick list.
Ask yourself, what is important for your team to know strategically about partners and opponents?
What does your team need to know to make a good pick list?

Pi Scouting:
What ideas is your team looking for to make your program better?
Instead of how many wheels, how about:
How do you tension your chains?
How do you hold position with mechanism X?
How do you control the motion of your arm?
How do you clutch your gripper?
How did you decide to use that particular material?
I would love for 1 weekend if my pit-crew didn't have to answer how many wheels the robot has. See, they are right there. They are the round things touching the ground...
-------------------------

were not interested in how it works, as long as it does. if the robot is fast i dont care if it has 6 wheels or 4. thats not important information on a scouting sheet. these matches go quick, its hard to get specific details during game play that will matter to our drive team
