Our strategy team is structured in a hierarchy. All SPAM members at the event (minus the drive team and pit crew) work in data collection. Our actual strategy team members act as shift managers. We sprinkle them into the shift rotations so there's always an expert on hand to answer questions and for quality control. Our strategy team leaders are our super-scouts. They look at the data, draw conclusions, and then research
why those things are true.
For example, our super-scouts might notice a team has a particularly high standard deviation of their effective score. They would then do more research to find out
why that is the case. Is their effective score trending upward because they've been adding functionality to their robot? Was there a dip in their middle matches because something broke? Has it been fixed?
Most teams do a good job of collecting useful data. It's the sort of problem that can be solved with sufficient manpower. What will set you apart is
analyzing that data, drawing useful conclusions.
