If a team is making fewer shots every match, they might have an underlying problem that might need to be inveatogated. This system allows us to see that.

CrowdScout may be able to provide some quick feedback, it might just be a few rounds behind. I'll have to chat with the scouting guys.

I would be very interested in seeing the level of detail you are collecting and what you are able to provide your drive team with a paper-based scouting system. Are you willing to share your scout sheet?

Okay, heard back from our lead scouting student. The system would be capable of real-time feedback, as long as there is internet feedback. And it could be expanded for all four divisions, though I think it would take some extra hardware (a scanner and computer + internet access) for each division.

The system uses scantron-like data recognition from reusable paper sheets (Sheets are laminated, scouters write on them with wet-erase markers). The sheets are scanned into a computer via a standard desktop scanner, the software reads the data from the sheets, and complies it. The sheets are then wiped clean, and taken back out to the scouters. If an internet connection were available, the data could be shared from there.

As far as detail, it basically comes down to what you can fit on the sheet I think.

I've linked this thread to our scouting master, so he can handle more technical questions/correct anything I might have gotten wrong.

This was our sheet from the WI Regional
