FireBears might be interested, what's the system like and how do you join?

We scout the performance of every robot in every match using paper sheets, and compile the data in an electronic database for use in calculations and easier sorting. Match scouts work in shifts of six for 1-2 hour shifts (dependent on how many scouts we have), so they'll have time to take a break and check out all of the other stuff the competition has to offer (pits, scholarship row, etc). We run the updated data to the pits periodically, so make sure you have a laptop that can run Excel for us to put the files on.

To join, just let us know that you'd like to! Tell us how many scouts you think you could contribute so we have an idea of how many people to expect, and then make sure to come talk to us on practice day. We'd like to use the practice matches to train your scouts so they're all set by the time we get to qualifications, and it also gives us time to show your scouting/strategy team how to use the database. Reply or PM me if you decide to join, then stop by our pit and ask to talk to either our head scouts or scouting mentor at the competition.

SPARKY Team 384 is ready and willing to help with the scouting, can't wait to play in a NEW (to SPARKY) CARVER DIVISION!!!

We will definitely participate as our lead scouting mentor is not able to join us at champs this year. We will have 3 scouts available for every match Thursday and Friday. Thanks for making this possible!

228 may be interested; I'll talk to the team and get back to you guys. From my time on 2791 I know you guys take scouting very seriously and produce quality data, so this would be a great opportunity for us. We would probably have 2-3 kids available; we're a tiny team.
