How did your scouting work?

One trick we did was to go around on Thursday and either talk to the teams or get a picture of every robot (a tedious process). When we had that info, we could compare it (somewhat) to the records on Friday to see if a team was using hyperbole in describing what they could do. Our scouting worked really well during both regionals we went to and nationals. It morphed a bit, but remained mostly the same as when I put it together during build.

We ( 447 ) set up a wireless ad hoc laptop network and had a set of pit scouts compile data on practice day, and then input match data thought the qp matches. Needless to say with only 3 people scouting there were a LOT of holes and a lot of scouted matches left un entered into the database but it was our first time using a laptop system and it was still very useful.

i would defiantly say that 492 scouting system was the best Ive seen so far (rivaling 461 's at the boiler maker regional)
