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

Also, your scouts will get tired, so try and rotate so that they get more interesting teams to watch, and the occasional break.
I think you really hit the nail right on the head here. Human Player and driver performance are going to be, in my opinion, the two most important factors in this game, and you can't really find anything about either in the pits (maybe you can set up a target and invite teams to throw balls into it? Set up a FIRST combine ) Also, like you said, there will be essentially 12 things to keep track of-each human player and each robot. Some teams will need a lot more disposable freshmen...
