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.

Just to follow up on Wesley, 1678's tablet based scouting system appeared to be quite accurate last year. Our average match scores and the correlation with the OPR were quite high. We were extremely happy with the results. We also were able to get near real time data to our drive team electronically.
This year is a bigger challenge because of the direct linkage among alliance robots and that there's no single position on the field that might be an attractive spot, i.e., safe zone or structure. Positioning for the truss shot is another added dimension. Our scouting system is much more complex this year than year for this reason.
