Re: How accurate does scouting need to be?

As one of the scouting leads on my team (pit scouting and match scouting), I say that inaccurate data is literally as good as a robot that is just a chassis. it might get a little done, but it'll never make your scouting system fantastic. Plus, this year, scouting is of the utmost importance. It's a good idea to meet with your alliance members BEFORE your match to discuss strategy and work out the game plan. I've always said that scouting is like fantasy football. You can never build a winning alliance without good data.
