Another factor that works for our team is since I am the coach and I am intimately involved in scouting data, the students will never turn in a blank piece of paper.

This year we are moving to tablets (discussed in another thread). It makes it easier to add other fun things. As part of the data collection, the students will predict the alliance selection order. We have not decided what the reward is yet for the winner. I will let the team decide.
