If a student approaches your pit with a part they needed machined or a wire they needed soldered, do you ridicule them? Give them false information and send them on their way? Nudge their elbow while they use your band saw?

No, and this is a horrible comparison.
We also answer all pit scouting questions honestly and don't give useless info.
However we don't pit scout for many of the reasons posted here.

We have a sub team at comps whose sole purpose is to go to teams and ask them if they need help and find ways to provide it. Either through us or another team. We don't need our scouters to do this.
