Go to the CD-media section, there are sheets and databases there...

Also, Please make sure whomever you have doing pit scouting atleast vaguely knows what they are doing...

when scouts come up and ask how well your robot lifts when it clearly has no lifting device causes teams to lose confidence in yours. There is a thread somehwere around here about that.

Also make sure your pit scouters know a lot about your robot because teams often like to get information about your team. If someone doesn't know anything about their own robot it gives off bad vibes.

I agree. Sending scouts that have no clue what is going on can sometimes get aggravating, especially on Thursday, when everyone is getting their robot for inspection, or just trying to get it running.

I'm sure you can find scouting sheets, but why do you feel the need to use them? Train your scouts well and have them write up an outline of what the 'bot they're looking at excels at.

Just for reference, here's the thread I created about this topic:

Do what you see fit, but a sheet full of 1-5s isn't very helpful, as the teams are obviously going to bias this...

Given that he is from an FLL team # he may not be actually talking about pit scouting sheets for FRC right now.
