Scouting only half the field

[logank013]

Feel free to PM me what your scouting sheet looks like. I can send you a link to what our sheet is for Cyber Blue this year. Something that we find is that we collect a lot of data and only use a little bit. If you "dumb" down your data sheet and make it only consist of a few categories, it would be pretty simple to have 1 person scout 2 robots at once. Then you could cover both alliances with little problems. Last year, I was able to scout all 6 robots at once with my version of the "dumb"ed down version of our scouting sheet. Of course, last year it was a simple game to scout but even this year, scouting with a simplified sheet won't make scouting super complicated.

For your 3 scout team, I'd suggest doing quantitative data (numbers) for most of the matches. Then as the day goes on, do a little bit of qualitative data (descriptions). Note what defenses teams can cross and stuff like that. Even though you may not be an alliance captain, I find scouting fun and it's good practice for if your alliance does become an alliance captain at an event. Like i said, feel free to send me a message, and I can show you how we scout and how it could be simplified to a 3 member scout team.
