Re: How did your scouting work?

234's scouting is done all by sight, we make a sheet for each team and record their personal match points, robot feature, and comments. It works really well if you have a sizable enough team. Give each scouter a clipboard with anywhere from five or six or ten to eleven team sheets. Be careful past that though, because if somebody has more than one team in a match it gets pretty hectic to try and keep track of both robots. The primary problem with this is that then you have several people pinned to the stands at any given time. This keeps people who could be working in the pit or talking to other teams from doing so. We've had drafting problems with people not knowing of us before from this, so who knows?

Ask Dognaux about it though, if you want serious scouting organization. He's the lead scouter and I guarantee he knows more than me.
