At the Autodesk Oregon regional I believe there was a designated scouting area in the stands with access to power, however we never used it.
Our team is pretty small so we had rather an unusual scouting system:
scouting captain (me) with MacBook, and usually only one other scout, with paper and pencil.
I was able to keep my battery going the whole day, with only a charge-up at the pit during lunch.
[And for people wondering how two scouts managed to do the Autodesk regional, with 60+ teams.... At competition my job is to know each and every robot. Every piece of data flows through my laptop, and I take scouting very seriously: I consider that if the team captain wants to know about a team, I need to have a ready flow of memorized info....plus it impresses the team captain
This really wouldn't be possible unless you have a team member who is willing to watch every match and stay up til the wee hours of the morning compiling data....
