Pit scouting is more useful than you think. Asking questions is a great way to get answers to things you don't see on the field. Example if you have scouters in the stands, perhaps some can not tell the difference in drive trains. Or two speed transmissions. What if a team had a two or three ball autonomous and never had a chance to show it off in game play? What if a team had a complete second or third replacement mechanism? You wouldn't see that from the field. Granted a lot of teams are going to tell you how great they are but this is the important thing to know. The true answers are not always what someone says, sometimes its what they don't say that is the answer. Pit scouting is another tool to help your team or alliance partners be the the best they can be when the time comes. If you don't do it can you honestly say you have done the best you can do?
