For me this is the big one that I don't think the current rules is an appropriate accommodation for. There are many seating areas that are just not acceptable for scouting and is the reason teams like ours and many others have to come early to get the necessary seats and then worry about losing these seats during lunch and breaks. If the scouters can't see the robots on the field or can only see them for half the match, what is the point in scouting? In the event that scouts can't see the field properly, what is a team supposed to do for scouting? At that point the data becomes pretty bad and could be even worse than not scouting at all.
