Being a scorer isn't too hard. It's only when a robot is scoreing like 9 balls at the same time in a corner goal. Otherwise as far as scoreing goes, each goal has it's own scorer and if a ball rolls into the goal and the light is active the ball counts. We don't really pay attention to what any particular alliance or robot is doing out there..

Being a former scout in HS, I have to say that this game has to be really difficult to get accurate reports for the 5th best robot and lower.
