Also, to reduce the number of sheets you have floating around, try and get as many matches on to one sheet per team. Try avoid having one sheet per match as things get messy with that many sheets of paper not to mention how many copies you have to make. ~80 matches x 6 for each robot on the field as opposed to ~40 sheets, one per team.

Then you'll want a nice way to organize these sheets. Our experience showed us that accordion folders are not the best idea. If you're in a rush, accordion folders aren't the easiest to use. We like to use huge binders with slash folders.

I hope that helps.

I agree with objectiveness but I also want to point out that subjectiveness is also useful especially when you know who made the comment. Then you can talk to them about what they saw and it brings in a whole other dimension to a robot.

I also agree about having one sheet per team but the way I kept it organized is by using one scouter to just organize the sheets and hand out the ones we would need. This was very very effective. That person would also collect the completed sheets and sort them back into the pile of team sheets
