Re: How do you scout Defense?
1. (From the stands) Figure out how well they can control their robot.
-A robot that looks well controlled and drives the way you think it should (qualitative), or how long it takes them to accomplish (simple) tasks (quantitative).

2. (From the pits) Figure out their gearing situation, their max theoretical speed.
-If they have a "slow" robot, they will not be good at defense.

3. (From the pits) Figure out what type of wheels they have.
-What style of defense do you need? Do you need them to pin other robots around and act like a "bully", or do you need them to play a different style?
