I felt like a part of something bigger, something that can change my future. After the kickoff however, I realized, I have LITTLE Skill set. That's why I can get back to my FIRST roots this year, and instead of scouting being "cop-out" this year, it actually matters! So many defenses to place, so many robots to catalog. It just makes me rather happy that with my little skill set, I can still help my team. Just thought I'd thank FIRST for making scouting important!

Scouting is important every year, can sure increase performance knowing tendencies, I'd put scouting slightly below the importance of a good drive team and on par with robot design . Congrats for taking it on.
