Re: Scouting: Diamond in the Rough

I can remember one. Second pick of the #2 alliance on Newton in 2005 was team 503. Both the other teams (330 and 67) wondered why they were not picked until then, but were more than happy to pick them. They had a very reliable scorer that wasn't the fastest or flashiest, but they had really good strategy to go with it. This was shown in the second match of the Einstein finals--they left a cockeyed tetra cockeyed because the goal was already owned by one below. One world championship resulted.
