Sorry, but if I'm only allowed to send 3 scouts down, I'm not sending any down there. I'll send 5, minimum; more likely 6-7. If I can only send three to a designated area, I'll try and sit 6, plus an input person, plus the rest of the team, right behind there, and none in the area.

And here's why: It is very, very, very difficult to monitor more than one robot at a time if you're a scout. The last time I tried was 2004, when there were still 4 robots on the field, so I took one alliance and the scouting mentor took the other. You tend to lose focus on one of the two robots. Three? Forget about it--you're losing so much data, you may as well not scout. Two robots on opposite alliances? Not easy. Trust me, I've done this.

At a regional level, you're talking up to 120-180 people, just with the 2-3. Districts are 120 for three/team. Championship, 200-300. 6 per team? Too many. You'd pretty much want the front half of the rows.


Not to mention that some teams just don't want to be split up...
