Re: Oh, boy, scouting will be difficult this year!
I believe that scouting this year will be especially difficult because of the number of tasks and/or objectives that can be judged. Not only do scouts have to pay attention to the robots themselves, but also the payload specialists. Are the payload specialists shooting percentage high? Are they throwing the moon rocks wisely? Are they using the empty cells in a way that is beneficial to the team? These are all questions that people have to ask themselves when thinking about who they want to be in their alliance (and those questions are just for a single aspect of the game).

Since there are so many variables to this game, I believe that a different approach to scouting will be necessary for teams that don't have the people/resources to track every single statistic.
