Re: Scouting Ideas and Strategies
TWO MINUTES???? wow, kudos to the mods, they moved this thread with 2 minutes.

Anyway... scouting. I know there are a lot of software out by other teams for scouting. Depending on what regionals you go to, some teams also set up a scouting database for all teams to use over a WLAN, so any laptop with wireless can access it.

If you are not into all that technology, good-old paper and pencil will work just as well. Make you have scouts who not only get the basic specs of the bot, but also other things that aren't so objective. When it comes down to alliance selection or strategizing, the more subjective aspects of a team can become a lot more important than the acutal numbers.
