I think 1678 probably has the scouting thing figured out pretty well. They won Curie last year, after 4 teams declined them.
While I wouldn't recommend going beyond objective evidence for most teams, it's clear that additional information in the hands of informed individuals can make for better decisions. If a team passes over picking a awesome robot with mecanum drive, it's their potential loss.
