It all comes down to how you collect your data and how it’s organized. Over the past three years we have tweaked with a scouting system and I my opinion it was a major reason that we won the Buckeye regional in 2011. Our second pick had a compatible mini-bot deployment which allowed us to win the regional by winning the mini-bot race.
