It's all good and well to use points scored as a criterea, but don't do what a lot of teams do and overlook defense when you're planning.

From what I saw, (I didn't scout) our team's scouting was messy and slow. The papers ended up in a big messy pile and was hard to read the writing at times, also the team members had trouble seeing the field. This year, binoculars and (maybe) a database (if I get around to learning acess) run on a 802.11b network with better dbi directional antennae for pit <--> stands communication. But, then we need the school to lend us ten(ish) laptops. Ideally I'd get a decent camera and film all the matches and connect it to a high capacity server/media center computer, before you mention the instant replay thread, remember, we aren't making juding calls on who's zip ties are in the triangle here, just deciding strategy, which (I think) doesn't need as good resolution.
