Re: Scouting as an Aliiance Captain

Scouting for us usually consists of a team member volunteering to be scouting captain but recently we got an addition to the team who is project manager/quartermaster/scouting captain which is very useful. He made scouting sheets. 6 of those fit onto one page and that page becomes the scouting sheet for one team since most qualification matches consists of a team playing 6 matches max. The scouting captain has the schedule and hands out the scouting sheets to the six scouters and they just sit in the stands and scout. it was very helpful in our past offseason event as we got a fantastic black horse team in our alliance as the scouters noticed that they were great at defense. I would not recommend pit scouting as it doesn't give you the best idea of how their robot performs. And even if you aren't alliance captain, scouting is still good because if you get picked you can help your alliance pick the best possible robot.
