Re: Team 1701 Field Scouting Sheet

As someone above says, I would recommend adding something to track autonomous.

Another thing, remember you only need 12 rows (max) for matches on a sheet. That could help clean this up and make it look a bit neater and more compact.

Additionally, have you considered a comments section? My head scouts always add one, just in case a robot does something noteworthy or unusual (This includes if they broke in a certain match, if they played really good defense, etc.). The kind of subjective data that is imperative when thinking about alliance partners.

Just a short story to illustrate my point (because I like stories): In 2014 at the Buckeye regional 910 was the number one seed, and when it came time to pick the third robot for our alliance we picked 639. They were actually ranked 11th or 12th on our pick list, as they were the only team at the entire regional that had been able to push our robot around, and we got them at number 24. We would not have known their defensive capabilities without a comments section, and their contribution to the alliance led to us winning the event.

So just numbers and tally marks will only get you so far.
