Lack of passion in scouting

[nikeairmancurry]

I for one worked my tush off scouting , by the end of the first day i had every team scouted for the Great Lakes Regional. I also had about 80% of pictures of all the different bots. i did notice some teams having no idea what things on there scouting sheets meant and also teams that weren't prepared and just had a lined piece of paper to write on. To the fact of a lack of passion for the game and for the team... if a person is scouting and dosn't show any enthusiasm then it really affects the look of the team. I am from team 326 and I express my concern in this field. Scouting is a major part of the competion and w/out it, really gets rid of the spirt and dedication to all of FIRST. To all of you who didn't care about scouting and showed no enthusiasm. I am appalled by the teams that came up to me and admited they had no idea what stuff on their scouting sheet meant. Not to undermine any teams but a lot of teams sent out people who weren't doing anything and were just there to mess around. U are right to say that a lot of teams showed no effort but there were a select few who did and i thanked. By scouting u represent your team and the inspiration of FIRST.
