Personally, I don't believe in scouting from the pit for the purpose of alliance selection. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to look at robots, ask how they work, what they do and all that, but I wouldn't trust a single piece of information that someone tells me about what their robot can do for selection purposes. It's all about what their robot does do, on the field. Our (mostly) identical practice bot was shooting 95% from multiple key locations on a practice field, but our competition bot was shooting about 10% when we hit the real field (due to software issues). But on Thursday, we were telling people we could shoot 95% because we didn't know otherwise yet.
