At Boilermaker, there was a 6 team scouting alliance in which each team contributed 3 people to scout a single team on the field. Not very efficient (I could have done a single team by myself).

This year because there is such a small spread, I'm only looking at a few basic numbers such as:
Success rate at elevation/suspension
Shooting % in autonomous
Time it mechanically takes to hang (once in place, mechanism deployment only)
