How did your scouting work?

[Chris Fultz]

Ryan D leads this for 234, and someone has some tough shoes to fill for 2006.

The system was simple and effective. Paper sheets that told number of tetras, auto mode action, and a small space for notes. Before each match, Ryan would come down to our pit with the papers on our partners and opponents. It made making a strategy very easy. Whenwe were done, Ryan took tha papers back to contiue to add data.

I will also say that a good scouting system helps keep everyone 'honest' and the strategies more accurate. You can make a realistic plan based on how robots are really performing. For example, it does no good to make an alliance strategy based on a team saying they can score "4 every match" when you have data that shows it was only 1 or 2.
