Sharing Scouting Data at Championships

[pabeekm]

Team 900 is going to St. Louis this year, and it's clear to us that with the small number of people teams will be able to bring, 4 fields is just WAY too much to keep track of. I'd like to propose a "scouting alliance" between teams going to St. Louis. The rules of said "alliance" would be as follows:

1. Each team scouts their own field. (Teams on the same field can both be in the alliance; the more data the better!)
2. Each team makes a clear and conscious effort to keep track of all six robots in all qualification/elimination matches on said field.*
3. Should any (or multiple) team(s) within the scouting alliance advance to Einstein, all the data on the robots from the other fields will be compiled and shared with them.

This way, teams won't have to worry about watching fields besides their own and will know what they'll be facing if they do make it to Einstein.

*Hypothetically, teams on the scouting alliance will be able to scout however they want so long as they do detailed analysis, both qualitative and quantitative, of performance during the matches. Data should be organized by team for easy reading.

Anyone interested in joining in on this? Let us know what you think!
