Re: New team, 2391
Remember that the Rookie All-Star Award is about a lot more than just the robot. It's more like a mini-Chairman's award for rookies. With as many rookies as there are this year in regionals like Oklahoma, Minnesota and Hawaii, the competition for that award is going to be tough.
Scouting is important for several reasons. If you are in the top 8 and are picking, you need to know who to pick. You also need to know if it would be wise for you to decline a pick from a team rated higher than you. If you're not an alliance captain but are picked in the first round, you need to be able to help the alliance captain with the third choice. But even before you get to the alliance selection, scouting is important so you will know the abilities of your partners and opponents in the qualifying rounds. Knowing that may be the difference in whether you're a picking team or not.
