Re: Who else uses scouting sheets?
MOE 365 uses scouting sheets. We've played a bit with doing something electronic, but it doesn't fit too well with the method of scouting we do. (We even have a Wi-Fi hub powered by one of the robot batteries -- should last all day at a competition, if we ever decide to use it.)

Electronically, we could capture all the empirical data, but we also want to read the opinions of the scouts as well. If they see something that might suggest another robot's weakness, even if not demonstrated in a match, we want to know that. The next person scouting that team can watch to see if that is indeed a weakness.

We do not assign teams to the scouts. Last year, we assigned times (i.e., 10:00 - 11:00 Friday) to individuals, and whichever teams were competing then were scouted by them. This way, you get multiple points of view on each robot and a better overall picture of its' capabilities and weaknesses.
