My experience is that other than grabbing a photo of each robot, pit scouting is entirely useless (and sometimes annoying for teams just trying to get some work done).

What parts a robot has on it or what a team says it can do often has no resemblence to what it actually does on the field. For scouting, my recommendation is that your time is better spent in the stands, watching what the robots actually do, as opposed to listening to the builders talk about what they're supposed to do.
