As the unofficial head scout of team 121, last year I learned to stay out of the pits and in the stands. Teams can tell you all sorts of nonsense. But how do you know what they are telling you is true. The only way is to see them in action during practice. What I did was make forms for each team. On the form I had things like type of robot, speed, alliance pick, etc. This allows you to see and judge what a robot can and can't do. Since there are four teams at a time, fill out 2 teams and have another team member fill out another 2 sheets. This can really make you feel like part of the team and helps when you get that top 8 seeding.
