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

I think it will be challenging but not too much more than previous years where human players had the ability to score. For us we usually have 6 students scouting each match and we rotate out the students throughout the day. Helps from keeping people from burning out.
Also to cut out the time of taking the data and analyzing it we just log it into laptops and have a centralized database that collects all the data. Which I plan on putting up on CD again this year.
I guess if the human players became a big enough factor we could add a extra scout for just human players. Also keep the amount of data reasonable. We only focus on the facts. Try to avoid data that could be considered subjective. So we would collect how many moon rocks did they score or did they grab a empty cell instead of are they fast yes or no. Just some thoughts. :-)
