Re: Qualitative Scouting?

I agree that there's definitely a benefit in qualitative information, especially given the limited number of matches in a tournament, and the development of teams during each tournament. Some teams get markedly better at the tournament, as they work through their issues or get with the meta-game. Other teams get markedly worse at the tournament as their robot gets worn down by the full contact or drivers lose their composure. Try to provide a sufficiently specific rubric (set of criteria) to reduce variation among your observers.
