Scouters - what do you look for when you scout?

Anyone have any reasons why 2nd round picks seemed pretty bad this year?
In response to your first request, our team definitely had some of the top bots mentioned here on our list. However, after choosing 188 we had to look at what would best compliment our team. We needed a proven empty cell carrier, a high scorer, and a top loaded robot. After previous experiences from regionals, we didn't want to be left without rocks because of a dry field and we needed somebody with options. 188 helped us in showing the data for the matches and in the end we chose 329 becaues of their HP load and average of about 10 rocks per match. We were happy with our decisions as I am sure many others were.
