For those that like scouting in the pits, veteran students have a better chance than rookies do. One of our mentors was on the team last year, and he said that he could tell how good a robot was just by looking at it in the pits. (He had five years experience at that point.) He also said that he didn't believe rookies who said they could do everything. (sorry rookies). Personally, I prefer field scouting, but you need at least two people, preferably more.
