And also, do teams use scouting information from other events, and if so what information and to what extent is that information utilized?

For our team we definitely always play to win, most teams will play defense unless they're afraid of their robot getting damaged before eliminations or their drive train is too slow to run sprints across the field in time for their turn at the cycle.
For pre scouting 1261 takes our division and cross checks which teams we attended regionals with and pulls the data from our stand scouts and compile it for them. For teams that we have not attended a regional with we reach out to our sister teams and see if they have any data on these teams. Once initial data compilation is complete we pull videos, blue alliance data, and a little bit of OPR to gauge how well we should be able to compete and what to expect. More specifically we watch matches of these teams and try to find an overall strategy so we get an idea when we have a qualification match with them.
