scouting...
the basis of scouting comes from your eyes, and nothing else... no words or phamplets or flyers can make up for what your eyes see from the bot and drivers on the field... You can't look at rankings or QP's or alliance points per match, but only individual #'s for that team... The absolute best thing to do is look at teams from thier match to match performance rather than just 1 match *which might have happened this year at nats with a lot of good teams not picked*
that is just the basis... from my list... i was pretty down on the 7 top picks, my # 8 didnt go, and about 4 of my 9-16 went and only about 2 of my 17-24 went... where as from BAE over 19 of the 24 i had on my list were chosen... *by my list i mean the teams list
*... that number alone should show how diffrent the scouting was at nationals compared to BAE and regionals at that...
*note our core scouting team at BAE was about 2-3 people and Nats was 4-6 people...
