Do you do any kind of pre-match summary for the drive team with this information? Just wondering how you summarize for them.

We have a seperate group do match scouting. 1718 did a lecture series where we talk about that. The #1 rule of match scouting is know they customer (your coach). The #2 rule is give reliable information. The #3 rule is give timely information.
Our coach (Jim Zondag) wants to know what our partners and opponents typically do (in all 3 phases of the game), and what we recommend the strategy for 33 and our partners should be. If this requires modification to our robot or one of our partners, it must be known early enough to propose, negotiate, and create such a modification. We usually give average or peak scoring capability (if data is available and varies). It is important that the scout understand that the coach may have a different plan, or the parnters may not agree to the plan. We only give Jim the card 1-2 matches in advance so he doesn't get them confused. That way we also have the newest/freshest data.
