We use 6 students who watch one and only one robot each match. They record the key information down on common scouting sheet. Then we have a runner who takes each match information and runs it to one other student who enters the data in an excel spreadsheet.

We built on a sheet that was being handed out by Team Rush a couple of years ago but have enhanced it with pictures, trend charts, quick and easy one button match sheets for all alliance members and opponents.

Then we created an elimination set for an easy report which we print a copy of each team stats through out the qualification matches and align them by the selected alliances.

We posted data on the walls at the Grand Blanc district this last weekend and we had many teams come and look at them.

I've been mentoring scouting and strategy for FIRST for 7 years and this is the best I have found for a team that is large enough to do it. It cannot be accomplished with a small team unless they are very dedicated and some parents help out.
