Re: Poor team scouting methods?

My team has found that trying to get a computer to tell you who to pick is nearly impossible (and often wrong). In the past we have tried to quatify a robots qualities, but found that having a person who watches all the matches and takes basic notes is highly effective. We will attempt to record match stats using paper and pencil (then putting it into an excel spreadsheet for organization). My main advise is don't try to get something to tell you who to pick, just have experienced and knowledgeable team member watch and see who you will work with best (not who is the best necessarily).
