I agree with how you assign your scouts. It takes more skill, more game knowledge, etc. to scout qualitatively than quantitatively. Quantitative data is just data scouts are gathering that requires basic game understanding(Where scouts are collecting data based of dos and don'ts of a robot and numerical data). Qualitative data asks the scout to summarize the robot's performance and role during a match that the certain robot played during a match(Which IMO takes a deeper understanding of the game and understanding of important roles in a game), so it's a smart idea that a team should assign their more experienced scouts to this role.

You bring up another good point about trusting your scouts to take good data or not. How do you guys train your scouts if it comes to that point?
