Scouting Questions

[SM987]

Echoing what other posters have said, asking for a photo and "tell me about your robot" are pretty valuable. Whether intentionally misleading or not, our pit scouts know to take any information obtained via pit scouting with a grain of salt. They are looking for rats nests of wire, things hanging into the drivetrain area, and other issues that might make something hard to repair quickly in a playoff situation.

My personal favorite pit scout question last year was "Are you more of an offense or defense robot?"
