So the teams that don't think your idea is the best idea should be put in the worst seats, because obviously their method is worse than yours?
Every team scouts differently. Every team wants different data. Collaborative scouting works with one or two teams because you talk to them in advance and collectively decide what data to collect, when to collect, how to collect it, and how to distribute it.
No two scouting systems are created equal. In 2009 team 67 had 18 scouts, 1 for each robot, one for balls in each trailer, and one for each human player. It doesn't sound like they would benefit from crowd scouting. Since they don't scout like you do, we get to shove one of the best teams in FIRST (and world champions that year) in the corner? No thanks.
