Re: Scouting, is it important?

Scouting is incredibly important. I mean, the information isnt always used, but we have been in numerous situations in which we have consulted with our lead scouts for advise on teams to pick. I mean, sure the first place team is usually a good team to pick. But in some games even the best robots can end up with a bad seeding. In lunacy, for instance, the game was very different, and sometimes the best robots wouldnt even be picking. Or the Uberbots this year. they had a fantastics robot, but sometimes their seeding wouldnt be as high because they would play defense sometimes. They usually ended up doing great, but the scores of a match dont always reflect the bots capabilities.
