5172 for the most part switches over to subjective scouting on the last day of a competition. Make sure you have a watchlist of robots who could potentially work well in an alliance with your team. Our experienced scouts would go over the list before the day and talk about why each robot would be good for us. These experienced scouters take notes on those robots throughout the day. Almost no match data is recorded as we didn't have a way to compile it and use it. All the scouters still watched matches and they take note of anything interesting that would be valuable knowledge for the drive team or alliance selection.

Don't only look at the best robots. Look out for the robots that would be a good third robot. The third robot can really make or break an alliance. On multiday matches the best robots are usually known by the last day and your team probably has a picklist of teams you want to pick first. The last day, at least for me, is spent watching the mid-tier robots.
