Re: Team Self-Updating scout database?

I usually go around the pits on Thursday and take pictures of all the robots, then we have a picture of every robot. You might find pictures of 10% of the robots on the web before the competition...and the odds of more teams than that actually using a wiki are pretty slim (it's been tried repeatedly).

As for scouting, in the past it's been relatively easy to scout by recording the performance of each team on the field on Friday, and compiling the data Friday night, with some modification Saturday morning, and using that for alliance selection. This year scouting is going to be pretty challenging! but going on team performance, rather than robot construction charateristics, is still probably more helpful.
