Re: Scouting, is it important?

While scouting is the most important thing my team does at competition, I'm not opposed to doing it with others. At WPI, team 20 was kind enough to lend us their data, while at CT we used our own with the help of sgreco on Saturday.

I do think it is 1000% understandable for any team to keep their pick list completely secret. 2791 is the kind of team that shares anything and everything, yet there are many reasons we do not make our pick list with others nor do we share it except with our first pick.

However, with regards to data collection and the way we organize information on teams, I'd be happy to share any of that with anyone. I actually have been looking into doing a pre-Kickoff presentation on the subject, since not everyone can see Karthik's wonderful presentation on scouting.
