Re: Scouting Sheets- 5099

Hey! Good start with the scouting sheets you put you The biggest suggestion I can make is that most of your questions are very broad and subjective qualitative points. For example, when you're talking accuracy (from your "Stands" scouting sheet), you divide it up into 3 categories: 1/4 of the shots, 1/2 of the shots, and almost all of the shots. Each of these categories is very unspecific. For example, your "almost all shots make it" could include robots that score 60%, 70%, 80% and so on of their shots, when in reality, these are very different levels of accuracy. Having more, specifically labeled options (say, 10% intervals) will allow you to group teams more effectively. That said, it is a tough question. The "how are we going to count balls" questions is one every team is asking; to which my best answer is "Do whatever you think your scouts can handle."

My second suggestion is for your pit scouting; the unfortunate truth of pit scouting is that most team's will not give you an accurate representation of their robot's ability. Because of this, I prefer to leave the qualitative, broad notes to pit scouting. I can't remember what our's has on it off the top of my head, but questions like "What kind of drive system do you have?", "Where can you acquire balls from?", or "What is your ball capacity?" were definitely in the discussion.

Good luck with your scouting and at the competitions! If you're looking for any more input, shoot me a PM or something, I'm happy to help.
