Re: How accurate does scouting need to be?

First, I'd like to thank everyone for the replys.
It seems to me as though I may have misrepresented our team's system. To me,it seems that all scouting data is flawed, just due to the fact that humans are doing the scouting. Our data won't be much worse than paper scouting or tablet scouting without position data, and with scout training, the accuracy issue might be negated.

To me, it seems like Garbage in, Garbage out is a scouting issue, not a tablet scouting or position tracking issue. Having been a scout, I know that all of the scouts will make mistakes at some point.

Having said that, I agree that we should collect as much data as we can according to our resources. We'll see if that includes location data or not.
