Interesting thought. However, we all know that asking questions to teams in the pit is already pretty unreliable - asking them to answer questions about their abilities before even setting foot at a competition will surely result in some...optimistic answers

Another question: have teams considered going (or gone) to nearby regional before their own to scout the teams that are there who will also be at the regional they are competing in?
