Re: How do you do scouting software?
Software scouting can do some powerful tricks that paper scouting just can't, but really, your team has to decide what suits them. Plus, I'm not sure if those tricks have been implemented. I'm thinking specifically of a "match breakdown", a single-page breakdown of any match, based on current info.

If you decide to make your own scouting software, like most teams, I recommend including a way to keep track of pictures of the bots. That and a "notes" section for experienced people could work wonders for planning, with a couple stats for ranking purposes...
