[The other Gabe]

I will continue to disagree with people who think pit scouting is worthless. the key is to ask them objective questions (which defenses can you cross, how many motors are on your drive, size of the robot, can you shoot high & accuracy percentage, would you be willing to defend, that sort of thing). because just because a team can do something doesnt mean that they will do it in every match - a good team will do what their alliance needs to be as successful as possible, not just to peacock themselves to potential allies, so they might not be able to do all of their cool tricks.
