Just a little thing about scouting strategy.......

As a person who did a lot of the pit scouting last year, I would say that just talkign to the teams and findign out their strengths and weaknesses are best determined by 3 things. Type of Drive (motors, gear ratio, and f/s) Second their type of ball system, (how many balls at once how many they can story, and also look at it your self and see how feasable it is to pick up balls.) 3rd what do you think of the robot? what is your oppinion? A lot of teams exagerate the capibilities of their robot even if they are your ally.

As I like to do, if you want a full database on robots, i would refer the our great allies of last year... The Feds. They guys have pictures, and developed a program for documenting how they preformed on the field, (and also what they were told I believe).
i believed they used the program in excel (equasions).

We on the other hand, organized in note cards. Much faster process of getting information, but does not look as neat and if you do not organize it, it can be a disaster.
