I don't want to get into the disaster that is scouting on our team, but trust me, pure objective data isn't what we want.

There is usually only one student who cares enough to go through the objective data (the drive coach), and he is mostly ignored. If we aren't going to do anything with the data, why bother? The subjective stuff can be helpful to the drive coach for planning match strategy, but the objective stuff is usually inaccurate when we have the same two students scouting all matches of the competition.

Our (terrible) strategy for when we seed in the top 8 is to pick our first team based on what the team's (or team next to us) general opinion for the best team is, then ask our first pick who to pick next.
