Re: Complete scouting overhaul - where to start?
Having all sorts of empirical robot data is nice but make sure you drive coach and your head scout are on the same "wavelength." Our drive coach requested we make him a one page overview for a match that contains the following generic information and any important game specific details.
He prefers the head scout and/or myself walk up hand him the sheet, let him read it, ask any questions he has, and then we are out of there if we don't need to discuss anything else and he can then talk to the drive team in peace.
I've attached a version of this sheet from Lunacy for reference. While it doesn't provide the drive coach with any numbers as most of the sheet is subjective, it provided him with what he needed to start forming a strategy. We still use a variation of this form for qualification matches.
