Re: Scouting sheets

Here are a few things we put on our scouting sheets from last year -

Team Number
Team Name
Robot Description (Quick summary of robot)
Autonomous Mode Description
Human Player Accuracy

Then we had the various robot capabilities, for example last year we had "Hanger" as a category, and if a robot could hang in last year's game, we would put an X by it, and then stated what it did in every match.

The forms were made in excel, but they were filled out by hand and kept in a scouting notebook. I found this to be the easiest way to go. Private message me if you'd like to see what it looks like.

Edit: Also, 234 does a scouting board for our regionals and division at Nationals. What is a scouting board, you ask? A scouting board is a resource for all teams - basically on practice day, we send people out to go around and take pictures of every robot. Then we crop the pictures, put their respective team numbers on each photo, and then paste them in sequencial order. This is all said and done by the first day and match of elimination rounds, and is a big help to all teams.
