Grade 9's are useful in the scouting department.
But I'd say scouting will probably be like every other year and just concentrate on the robot. If you happen to notice that their human player is good, more power to you.

Yeah they're useful... until they throw their clipboards on the ground and leave to go to the CNN center early (this happened last year). I started last year and somewhat ran scouting from a back seat. After about the first day at the Championship I just gave up since there was no way that we would be picking and highly unlikely that we would be picked (e.g. if I was picking, I would not have picked my team because of my data). I'll be looking at human player separately, but if it doesn't seem worth it after (or even during) Buckeye I'll scrap the HP scouting completely in favor of notes on good HPs.
Also, random fact: After divisions for the Championship were announced last year, I told myself, "If 1114, 217, and 148 get on an alliance, they're probably going to win. Not like that's going to happen, since one of them will get picked before they can form that alliance."
