Good scouting data can help you sell your team to those who are in a position to pick. If you are not an alliance captain but get picked in the first round, your data can be instrumental in helping to choose the third pick.

The numerical data is not the end-all, but it is an important part of the decision process. Other intangible factors include synergy and compatibility of the alliance robots and the personalities of the drivers / coaches...
