We used a system that sounds similar in principle to 25's.

Im not sure about any technical details, as that sort of thing isn't my specialty, but the kids that wrote the program did a fantastic job. It came in very handy for us throughout the season.

The only thing I didn't necessarily like about computer based scouting is that it becomes way too easy to just let the computer tell you that team xyz is statistically the best, and to go solely off the rankings. The scouting guys would tell us that the program says one team is the best bet for us to pick, when the mentors and drive team all thought that other robots fit our strategy better, among other things. You have to be careful to supplement your personal knowledge of teams with the computer, rather than rely on the computer.
