One of the reasons I still believe in pit scouting is to gage the honesty and integrity of a team and it’s understanding of their own capabilities and the game strategies.
Also, having an understanding of their mechanical setup gives me an idea as to their robots compatibility with our robot.

Best response by a team captain in 6 years of pit scouting:
"What's autonomous mode?"
Not to mention, it's always fun to see everyone's robots. We often hung pictures of things we liked on our wall while brainstorming mechanisms in later years.
For example, after chopping away about 1/4 of our robot in our rookie year weight crunch, we were super impressed by
40's foresight of drilling holes in everything before assembling the robot. So, we
did the same thing the following year.
