To answer the first question, the scouter that is on the far left red game pad will always scout red 1 robot and will look at the far left red panel to score. Then the same for the middle red game pad where they always scout red 2 robot and look at the middle red panel to score and so on. The blue ones are the same where the far left game pad scouts blue 1 and uses the first blue panel.

To know which controller is which, the person scouting the red 1 robots will use the red game pad that is connected to the first port on the USB hub that only the red game pads are connected to then so on for the other scouters.

We will teach the scouters what buttons do what and make them practice scouting with it using videos of matches so they can get more comfortable with the buttons and memorize them.
