Here's an overview of how our stand scouting works:
In the stands we have at least 6 people scouting at all times. Each has a clipboard with a team's sheet on it and scouts only that robot. Every team at the event has a sheet, and the sheet has rows for each match. This scouting covers things like shots taken, shots made, defenses crossed, etc. Message me if you're interested in seeing the sheets for this year.

After the match, the scouters pass their sheets to someone who enters the data into an Excel database on a laptop. Once we have some data in the database, we can print out relevant info about the teams before each match.

While all this is going on, 1 or 2 experienced scouters are qualitatively scouting and taking notes on things like driver skill, decision making, patterns of play, etc. All of the information gathered goes to making a pick list.
