Re: Reflections on Scouting 07

we had six people scouting, one on video, and then our head of scouting (me) doing holistic scouting on all bots, then on highly-ranked and likely-picked bots. the holistic stuff wasn't as useful as i'd hoped, mostly because the statistics gave us all of the info we needed. basically our staff understood that they were getting two days off from school, so they'd better do something useful.
at LVR we saw a team using Playstation controllers... hope to see some info on those devices. The way to do it would be six laptops, but paper works too. It's just a pain to digitize. Next year we will do something a little more high-tech.
