Re: Rookie Scout

at UCF we used 1511's scouting program which is an previous post and it worked out great,

at Palmetto I was sitting at home watching the webcast and calling people on the phone

if you are not bringing a lot of man power the best suggestion I have is when the alliance divisions come out look at some of the people you might not know and try to find info about their robot ahead of time or look at some matches that may have been archived

don't bother on people you know for example if you are on the same division as 1114 you can tell by their 3 regional wins that they are good and can hurdle around 5 or 6 per match

some sites you can look at are

http://www.soap.circuitrunners.com/2008/movies/
and also http://www.thebluealliance.net/

remember that teams change things from competition to competition some may improve their hybrid mode or a new way of taking down the balls

I can tell you first hand that 386 was not as efficient at UCF taking down the balls and it worked out for them because they went from net being picked at UCF to not only in a picking position before you guys picked them but winning a regional so look out for those kinds of things

PM me if you have any more questions
