A New Way to Scout

[khanh111]

There are arguments to be made for both sides.

As of now, few enough teams are able to collect good data that good data is itself a competitive advantage. That's why I originally thought that data should be kept within teams of the scouting alliance.

In any case, data will eventually become so widespread that good data will be everywhere (think stock market data). When that comes, data analysis (which is already extremely important) will become even more important.

It's up to us as a community to decide when that will be though. I liked 1306scouting's idea of giving out separate lists to teams pause the scouting alliance.
