Re: Scouting sheet input requested

You've got a great start here. Some things to consider:

1. Scouts get bored.
2. FIRST matches happen fast, so minimizing the amount of data you ask people to collect is paramount to getting data that isn't junk.

Do you need to know if they can score tubes every match? Do you need to know the autonomous path, or is just the starting point good enough? Does the minibot finishing need to be a separate question from where the minibot placed? Do you want to ask the scout to approximate a time to get tube and score (could tubes/match be an acceptable alternative that doesn't require guesstimation)?

Is there any other information you might want to know? Mecanum drive, 6wd, etc?

I'm a quantitative kinda guy, I really like to go for numbers with as little subjectivity as possible. The trick is collecting them without human error messing them up too badly.

2 cents.
