Re: Scouting Options

Last year we were able to have two scouts per laptop because it was fairly easy to remember and/or see at the end how many totes/containers your robot scored and then record these numbers after the match rather than writing down numbers as the match went along. With only three laptops at a time it was easy to form a rotation so charge wasn't really an issue. This year, though, the actions of the robot you're following aren't standing on the field at the end for you to see. We're thinking of having scouts take notes on paper during the match, then enter the official data into excel on their laptop between matches. This should eliminate whatever conflicts may arise from two scouts using the same laptop.
