Re: Give me your best scouting tip.
If you are short on manpower, skip the pits. Most robots are SUPPOSED to do this-or-that. Watch the matches and take GOOD notes - about what the robot REALLY does.
Quantify if possible. "Really good", or "sometimes has trouble" are not that useful. Cap cap 7-8 tetras per match, or tetra reload take 34 seconds - more useful.
And the one thing that our scouter did REALLY well... Come up with a single page summary sheet with all partners and opponents. Have a runner take this sheet from the stands to the drive team. That way the alliance can look at DATA and make informed choices. Almost real time.
Keep it OBJECTIVE.... subjective doesn't help as much...
