Advice for new strategist?

[Riverdance]

As far as managing scouters, in an ideal world you have the right number of people not only for six scouters (one for each robot in a match) but also for backup scouters, someone to run the stands, and someone to run pit scouting. This set up would allow you to run back and forth to the pits as much as you need and to manage mainly strategy while having the scouting data at your disposal.
Unfortunately, I think we all know that this is not an ideal world, and especially on a fairly new team you might not have the ideal number of people (it's not just rookie teams, though, I run into this problem more often than not and my team's been around since the Stone Age, or so it seems). As long as you have six people available to scout matches counting yourself your job is not going to be the most difficult thing, even though it might not be the easiest. If you personally don't have to scout, try not to so that you can focus on lists for alliance selection.
My team uses half-sheets designed for scouters to fill out to record data -- the sheet asks a variety of questions such as "do they successfully shoot during autonomous", "tally the number of high goals, low goals, truss shots, and assists that they make", and others geared at obtaining information about how the team plays the game. The scouters simply have to fill in the blanks for the robot to which they are assigned and I or whoever I put in charge of the stands files the sheets away in manila folders marked with the appropriate team number.
While the scouters scout, your main responsibilities will be to pick at least five or so teams that you'd want to work with during eliminations and running data back and forth slash consulting with your drive coach/team captain in the pits. This is why having someone in charge of the stands is important -- otherwise they can get messy and disorganized while you are off strategizing. Make sure when you go to see your drive coach/captain that you carry all pertinent scouting data with you, because you might not remember everything important about a team and having everything with you will expedite the whole process a bit.
There's all kinds of information that I can give you. PM me if you're interested and I can share a couple of Google Docs with you that have been very helpful to my scouters and I this season.
