Re: Scouting in a nutshell?

It sounds like you may need to define what your scouting teams goals are and then work towards establishing a "Scouting Team Manual" and training presentations. Scouting means different things to different teams, be sure to talk with your mentors and drivers about what they want/need.

As others have suggested, look through the whitepapers and other threads. A good presentation to check out would be FRC1114 strategy presentation on this site: http://www.simbotics.org/resources/workshops

FRC2168 recently put together a draft scouting manual for our students, to take a look at it click on my name in my signiture and scroll find the posted document.

Myself and another mentor from our team just held a presentation on scouting at CTFIRST University, they are now also posted on my blog. If you are interested in reviewing the slides, send me a PM or a email and I'll get them sent over to you.
