How it works is that each member has a team x (or normally it's 1-2 teams unless it's nationals). Their job is to know everything about team x that there is to know. They basically become an expert on them. They watch their matches, and track their progress.

This is really useful because when we need to "check up on some diamonds in the rough" we can come to the person and get everything extra we need to know about their robot.

We also have "general scouters" who are a group of about 3 of us who looks over all teams and interprets all data. We're sort of the opinion eliminators.


We do it this way so that everyone scouts and no one person is stuck watching every match.
