Scouting at the championship

[EricH]

This is my opinion on scouting in general, but particularly at Championship:

Scout every team in every match until either they are eliminated or you are. During eliminations, scout alliances (at Championship, try to scout the elims for other divisions if you're still playing).

You never know when you'll uncover a weakness or strength that your alliance can use.


If you don't think your robot has the capability to be an alliance captain, let me put it this way: Only 8 teams out of every hundred will be alliance captains. And with the caliber of teams at Championship, it could be any team in the division. Another 16 will join them; 8 will remain available as backups. 32% of the teams in any division will be or could be in eliminations. And any one of those could be YOU. If you aren't ready, you will be eliminated. If you are ready, you greatly increase your chances of winning.
