The MOST IMPORTANT thing you can have is a picture of a robot. Really. With a few simple stats you'll be golden becuase pictures say a thousand words. Also usually there'll be one person in your scouting crowd who knows every team and their robot, or collectively you'll be able to do that.
I agree. There is no reason to tape all the matches. For one thing, there won't even be time to watch them before having to come up with a list for the captain. Our team takes picture of every single robot to use as references for ourselves and visuals for the drive team. http://www.lasarobotics.org/gallery/...ST-Scouting-05 That is a link to our photo gallery where we posted some of our scouting photos from Lone Star Regionals. And yes, there is always one scout that knows who every single team is.
