Re: Requesting Tips about General Scouting Strategy

Wow Danny,
I love that video idea. Should be very high quality.

Ok for the past few years now, my Dad and I have been writing a largely data entry based system. Our goal is to use our scouting data to predict what the score of matches will be before the matches are played. By the end of a regular event, ~100 Qualification matches, we can rank teams our own way, and figure out who really should be ranked where. Additionally we capture strategy related information for who starts where and how they play certain aspects of the game.

Its fairly labor intensive, we have 6 people watching 6 robots at all times. It gets more fun because you get to see how accurate we are in guessing the scores. Additionally, we do data pulls between each match we play in, so we generally know what the other alliance is capable of all the time.

My Eventual Goal: Use video scouting, with some video analysis to get the similar to what this small israeli company did before stats.com bought them (for a large sum) http://www.stats.com/sportvu/basketball.asp
