Re: How does your team do scouting?
This year we handled scouting a little differently than we usually do. make some sort of sheet to fill out, print out a bunch of copies, get 6 clipboards, etc. Typical pen and paper stuff, but this year Team 1493 collaborated with Team 20 in a joint scouting venture. We had a rotation schedule, 3 people from 1493 and 3 people from 20 would scout ten matches, then 3 different people from both teams would switch in for the next ten matches. Otherwise, standard stuff as mentioned before, but...
Having two different teams scouting together seemed to help us catch things we'd normally miss. (More discussion of the match perhaps?) While the rotation basically kept us fresh and ready to scout. Not to say that Rebound Rumble isn't fun to watch, but watching one robot specifically on the field and trying to count how many seconds it took to balance on the bridge, or how many hybrid shots it took...a break really made all the difference. the sheet was pretty comprehensive and had room for other information it didn't cover.
