Re: 2015 - A New Kind of Scouting?

I would focus on the extent of a robots capabilities not how many points they get. Focus more on what your team is missing and what it could use from other teams and how they could help the alliance. For example in auton can every robot on your alliance push their tote and bin into the auto zone or do you want two robots just to drive into the auto zone while the last one gets all of the totes and stacks them in the auto zone. Another example is if you can top off any stack with an extra tote and a recycling bin then you want to look for teams that are able to quickly build shorter stacks that you can top off even if alone those teams don't get many points cause their stacks only get 4 high with no recycling bin to top them off. It is more about what your team need than the raw points other teams can score completely alone though that data is useful as well.
