Re: My Team Needs Help Scouting

648 uses a 2 part pit scouting and match scouting system. We divide up into groups on Thursday and each group takes a certain number of robots. We use a basic scouting sheet that is easy to fill out with a picture of each robot as well as a lot of just check boxes for things such as number of wheels and type in the drive system. All of this information gets entered into an excell sheet which can be sorted to only show the robots we are up with and against in our next match. A sheet with everything found out during pit scouting gets printed off before each match to find out what all we are up against. Before we even go to a competition though, a sheet to scout matches is made and critiqued. By watching webcasts, we find out what is easy and reliable to record during matches. Scouting is divided up in the matches so that each individual person scouts an individual robot. Check boxes and single number boxes make it incredibly easy to record information.
Good Luck
Malhon
