As the scouting officer for my team, I can tell you that the preconceived information I read on CD does affect my view towards teams in competition a little bit. But I can tell you that when we have the scouting meeting Friday night and we make our lists, I am objective. Plus I can tell you that most of the kids on the team aren't on CD a lot and don't really know about other teams coming to the comp. We go purely by the data we get in the competition and the feedback we get from the kids who are scouting. So no CD does not affect how we pick robots.
