Go to Post Successful teams - in almost any aspect of life (i.e. not just robotics) - don't make excuses and assign blame when something goes wrong. They improvise. They adapt. They overcome. They correct the problem and move on. - dlavery [more]

Re: Lack of passion in scouting

Instead they would rather either:
-Work on the robot, which is normally exciting
-Play line rider

After thinking about this, it seem obvious to me that we either need to make scouting more interesting or get some future accountants to join our team.

I don't know if other teams are having this same problem, or if it is just us.
First of all, does your entire team scout? Or do you have designated people scouting? What is your process for scouting as of now?
