Many teams use a single scout per robot per match system where they gather stats on each and every robot each match. This really requires 6 full time observers watching each robot, and often someone to help collect sheet or tabulate data or coordinate assignments.

Most teams that do this generally have 10-20 students that will be in the stands and can support this effort in shifts as it can be exhausting work.

While in theory your 6-8 members could do such an effort, I would be concerned about fatigue which can result in poor data, which can result in poor results.
