Re: Advice for a hapless rookie?

Two tips:
1) When you do pit scouting, act like you believe everything the other teams tell you, and take pictures. The other teams may be exaggerating, but you'll find that out when you do match scouting.

2) When you do match scouting, you need a minimum of six people. It is impossible for one person to do three robots, and two is very hard. Use something simple, like a printout of an Excel spreadsheet with a simple data system, and keep it as objective as possible.
