I know a lot of the teams that I have interaction with have at least one person watching each robot on the field for the match, and they work in shifts so that the same kids aren't scouting the entire competition.

This brings up a very different question.

Do teams need to change the way they scout?

I think sitting in the stands with a "scouting system" and watching every single match, trying to track the way every point is scored is terrible, and that data is of very little use to drivers/coaches/alliance captains at the end of the day. There are other, bigger questions that scouts should be much more worried about.

Quit torturing the scouts!
