Re: Scouting, is it important?

I see your point to scouting not being important, however I have to disagree. As the lead strategist for 548 I have found that assigning a few robots to a student to know inside and out helps a lot. Going to your alliance partners and knowing what robot works best in which zone helped out a ton. Also guessing at your opponents strategy was helpful because it told you where your alliance might need two robots or where to play defense. I also agree that some of the scouting done is worthless. Again this year, I don't need to know what kind of ball possessor a robot uses, just how well it works. That's just my observations from two years on drive team and one year of strategy.
