This thread was created to build up a questionnaire for every FRC team, to be answered through pit scouting performed by a CD volunteer (or someone voluntold by a CD denizen). I'd like to keep this to at most twenty questions, answerable in about 10 minutes per team. Here's my initial cut; please recommend additional questions or options within the questions, or point out questions that you believe will produce unusable or meaningless results. I specifically did not ask about the team's total budget, because most team members (at least on my team) have no idea.
