What you've described is also scouting. We try to do both objective scouting (like the paper sheets you describe) as well as subjective scouting where a few smart people try to figure out the teams strategy and tendencies. We scout both for strategy for the next match, and for choosing who to pick. In both cases, we use the objective data as the starting point, and then modify our plans based on the subjective data.
Just like our robot, we improve the scouting throughout the season. We usually find that at the first regional we either collect too much objective data, or not the right types of objective data.
