Our pictures weren't that great either. Most of them were just the backs of people standing in the pit. We got a handful of successful pictures.

A cool trick I found out is if you go up to one of the drivers or someone in the way of your picture and then ask "Would you mind if I took a picture of your robot?", they'll usually give you a funny look and say sure, but it's a polite way of getting everyone clear of the camera shot. We had more issues with just plain forgetting to take photos of teams than on having to retake shots.

When we went to Cleveland in 2005, we came up with good scouting information, but it was murder to those who were copying the info from individual sheets to the master sheet for each team. Filing through pain-in-the-neck accordion folders to find the team.

Hehe, we had the accordion folders at nationals that year too... Evil, evil accordion folders. And about 12 scout books to coordinate into the Master Book, all the handwriting was of various degrees of legibility of course. Crap, those were a pain! How did I ever live without the computer?
Thanks for telling us about Boilermaker! Any other scouts care to ship in their $0.02 about how their scouting went this year?
