Re: Scouting in a nutshell?
Scouting is not only finding out who the best teams are at the competition but also finding teams that will compliment your playing style. For example, this year the Bees looked for a third team that was able to defend and had a (at least somewhat) reliable minibot or could feed us and the other main scorer (provided we were one of the top two scorers). This prevented the rack from being crowded by three high-scoring teams.

Strategy is the biggest factor in determining who we pick after scouting.
