Re: Oh, boy, scouting will be difficult this year!

There will be a lot happening on the field. It's up to the scouting team/drivers/coach to determine what is important. In the past we've kept data on nearly everything quantitative. This year, I think pit scouting is worth very little. It all comes down to how robots can maneuver on slippery regolith and how accurate their Human Players are. I'd highly recommend at least 1 scout per robot, you may need two to keep track of both the HP and the robot. Also, your scouts will get tired, so try and rotate so that they get more interesting teams to watch, and the occasional break.
