I know for a fact (since I helped implement it this year) that most of my team's scouting is entirely statistics based. We have a scout per robot on the field, and it's their job to record the statistics.

For example this years categories are:

Lines in hybrid, balls in hybrid, laps in teleop, herds in teleop, hurdles in teleop/balls placed at end, alliance score, their score. and then a place for notes.

If one team puts up 80 points by themselves in a match, that's really impressive...less so if we find out that none of the opposing robots were moving.

I'm fairly sure that if other teams scouting systems aren't exactly like this, then they're pretty darn close. They look at the bot as a singular unit instead of their alliance.
