Depends whose qualitative impression, though. It is easy to find people to record simple statistics of one robot per match. It is very much harder to find people that can identify strengths and weakness of robots and remember them for a big chunk of the teams at an event. Outside the top handful of teams at an event, I'd bet the average scout couldn't tell you much of anything for around 50% of teams.
