In this years game, especially with the bridge, it seems as though information about the drive train would be very helpful in a pamphlet. Scouts for a triple balance are interested in your orientation, overall dimensions, center of gravity, wheel type and number, weight, gearing, etc. That isn't always obvious from match scouting, and could prove vital in eliminations.

As a defensive robot, information like this greatly influences our match strategy. We can easily push most teams who gear high, and had complete control over over a mecanum bot in a previous match (may have been a scrimmage, I forget). We also used this for balancing strategy.

I wouldn't believe everything/anything I see in a pamphlet. They all say "so great at everything" but then when you actually watch the robot, they're really not.

We pit scout for purely quantitative data that you couldn't get otherwise or is easiest gathered in the pits: Robot dimensions (wide/long), robot height (for balancing and CoG), and number of CIMs on the drive.

We pit scout for things that people can't lie about.

Drivetrain Type (mechanum, 6-wheel, 8-wheel, etc.)
Chassis Orientation (wide/long)
Shooter Type (long range, fender, no shooter)
Bridge Manipulator (yes/no)

There's way more then that, but I can't think of them right now.

We make a robot card containing basic robot information that was from an original design by team 1002.

Nice! Why does it have 2 bump sections?

If you mean in the front, it's for the ball intake.

Fail on my part, I read Ramp as Bump on the backside.
