Re: Opinions of Q&A

If you have the resources to spare, do both.

We have a scouting rotation, where 6 team members are on each rotation, scouting one robot every match. After their rotation is over (rotations are usually 3-4 matches or half an hour), they're free to roam the event, but they are assigned a team to "expert scout", where they need to approach the team in question and learn more about their team in order to make an accurate judgement.

Match Scouting provides raw statistical information that can be used to check a robot's capabilities, while Expert Scouting provides insight into how beneficial they might be as an alliance partner, and gives additional information about mechanisms that we're interested in.
