Re: Scouting only half the field
If you focus on one half of the field, I'm sure you could potentially see all of the robots that are at your competition, but the benefit of scouting all six robots is seeing how alliance members on one side respond to the actions of alliance members on the other side.

Plus, scouting one side might mean you only get to see a robot once throughout a competition, and that's it. Then, you might judge that robot based on their performance in only one match. It helps to get as much data as possible.

Maybe you could scout one side of the field throughout the day and have a camera filming all of the matches on the other side of the field.
