Best Ways to Scout

[CBG]

My team uses an electronic reporting form, but we use phones and tablets that connect directly to the internet. We also value paper scouting. One of our mentors always takes paper notes on each robot's performance across one or two matches and we rearrange these cards when making our pick list Friday night. I also want to point out the advantages of making a pick list of Friday--it may seem smart not to make these kinds of decisions until just before alliance selections, but you will be pressed for time at this point and it's best to have an idea of the order of teams that you can rearrange when teams either increase or decrease their level of performance.
