Scouting this year was definitely intresting.

Boston:
In Boston, after taking down all the pit scouting information, they didn't really need the information so that made my efforts ( however neat and organizied they were ) useless. In match scouting I gave my team sheets to fill out for each robot. With high hopes that this would go better than my pit scouting efforts, I came back an hour later to review their progress, and what do you know? I found a bunch of half-baked efforts and some people refused to do it at all. In the heat of the moment I ripped up 1/2 the match scouting sheets to show how mad I was. Eventually it worked out, because we got our first pick 121 and our other pick (1568 i think?) turned out to be a good alliance, but not enough to take down the "NU-hyper-force" alliance.

Palmetto:
Because of my previous expierence in Boston I took a different approach to this, instead of taking pit scouting like i normally do; I took pics of every robot and their drivetrain. Also I spent my whole day next to the field taking match scouting. Because the practice matches were also pretty intense and the same with the qualifying matches, I got a lot of info on every robot. That friday night we made a list of teams that we wanted to be alliance partners with and what do you know? Everything turned out how we wanted to because we got to ally with 1251 and our second pick 1758 I was equally happy with as our second pick. Sadly our alliance wasn't enough to take those beastly ramps of 1319 and their consecutive 60 bonus points with 342 and 832.
