From doing this, using last year's scouting system a bit, and doing paper scouting, it seems like there is a tradeoff between accuracy and amount of data.
So, my question is this: Would you prefer to have lots of less accurate data, or not as much accurate data?
(This isn't going to affect our scouting system, I'm just curious.)

The last 2 years we used a tablet program that tracked what teams did and where they did them on the field. I can say that we never used data gathered on where they did what on the field. Collecting that data just slowed my scouters down and increased mistakes.
This year we are still trying to use a scouting app but we will not be and do not care about what specific location a team does something. I suspect our scouting to be much better and allow us to pick those robots that will really complete an alliance in the 2nd round....
