Respectfully, I disagree. Especially given this year's game--that, theoretically, there can be an infinite number of balls scored, rather than just filling up a rack, like last year--it's very important to have each robot in a match given individual attention. If one person scouts just 2 robots at once the accuracy goes down about 40%--more if the 2 robots are high scorers. (In LA we had 6 people, and we still only got about 60% of the total possible data!  ) It may be difficult to have 6 scouts in the stands at all times, but it really pays off during the picklist creation.
