We scout the performance of every robot in every match using paper sheets, and compile the data in an electronic database for use in calculations and easier sorting. Match scouts work in shifts of six for 1-2 hour shifts (dependent on how many scouts we have), so they'll have time to take a break and check out all of the other stuff the competition has to offer (pits, scholarship row, etc). We run the updated data to the pits periodically, so make sure you have a laptop that can run Excel for us to put the files on.
To join, just let us know that you'd like to! Tell us how many scouts you think you could contribute so we have an idea of how many people to expect, and then make sure to come talk to us on practice day. We'd like to use the practice matches to train your scouts so they're all set by the time we get to qualifications, and it also gives us time to show your scouting/strategy team how to use the database. Reply or PM me if you decide to join, then stop by our pit and ask to talk to either our head scouts or scouting mentor at the competition.
