My response to this is to just not pit scout. Other than photos. It makes it easier for everyone that way.

That's why teams should be careful about who is standing in their pits. Make sure they are prepared to answer the questions asked of them or point people in the right direction to properly answer questions about the robot instead of spreading false information about the robot and doing more damage to your teams reputation than having a bad robot will.
