Re: 2007 New Hampshire Regional (BAE SYSTEMS Granite State Regional)

I've got an announcement for the Granite State Regional... Team 166 will be running a scouting database that is open to all teams for both contributions and usage. In other words, we are trying to start a universal scouting database for everybody to use.

Last year, we found that there were wireless networks at GSR, so we made our team's scouting data available to everybody. This year, we're trying to take is a step further and make one database for all teams to add scouting data to.

As the scouting lead for Team 166, I came to the conclusion that the data that could be obtained by cooperation among teams offered much greater upside than the benefits of traditional, cuthroat secretive scouting. Mass cooperation will help insure that every match is scouted, and duplicate accounts of the same match will help to cross-check the accounts.

I have attached a copy of the scouting sheet that our team has based the database on. We placed an emphasis on making as many items on the sheet "circle all that applies" responses as possible rather than "fill in the blank" responses. We went through about 5 or 6 iterations before we finally agreed on the current scouting sheet.

On Thursday of the competition, two people from Team 166, Rob (myself), and Zach (the team member who is responsible for programming the database), will come around the pits with paper copies of the scouting sheet and copies of a document on how to use it. We need other teams to help in order to make this experiment into a success. If we can achieve any level of mass cooperation, we can make traditional, every-team-for-itself scouting a thing of the past.
