Re: [Scouting Program] FRC_Scouting_V2

Very true, knowing the quality of the defense, and the quality of play that bot can produce is very important. For example last year I was one of the lead scouts/ team strategist that was responsible for analyzing other robots and what they could do. At the Kansas city regional we were the number 5 overall pick and me, being the representative on the field, convinced my new captain that we needed a defensive bot in order to help us win. My data said that the team we choose was a heavily defensive bot; however that bot turned out not to be as reliable as we initially thought because we didn't have any data on the drivers, or the robots ability to actually play the game outside of just playing defense. So if you could I would also suggest that you find a way to put a general comments section on your page, so that when you are looking back over your data you can easily see that while this robot was good it had such and such problems. That way you can get very specific information to help you make the right decision on the field.
