Minibots will be huge; look for consistent deployment systems, a universal deployment technique, and a fast minibot (preferably so you can get a fast minibot on a consistent deployment mechanism).

Find out about their role in-game (Feeder, Defense, Offense) and what their capable of offensively and defensively.

Ask about their drive system but don't use that as a decider; some mecanums will be dominant, some will be not that great (usually comes down to driver experience), and don't auto-bench 6-WD scorers, they can be as good or better than some mecs.

Stepping outside of simple go-up-and-ask-them idea, keep an eye on matches of potential partners, it will tell you significantly more about a robot and their drivers + Human Players than Pit Scouting will.
