Re: Scouting on Thursday?

well on thursdays you can actually get a big feel for what the spread of robots is ( by that i mean how many of each type of robot are there shooters arms and rabbits for example) then you can see who finished their robot on time and who is still building up to that moment that you interview them. Also you can ask for their weight and if they are weighing in at 119.5 then you know they removed something, and if it was there to begin with it might have been important so they might have a flaw there.

Thursday is also a good day to get a feel for how trustworthy a team is and to get to know them a little better

i mean if on the interview they say they can do it all and in a match on Friday the can barely score three laps and no hurdles then you know not to trust their word on saturday when they say to give them the inside track because they are gonna do a full lap in hybrid and know a ball down
