Scouter/strategizer for hire

[Nawaid Ladak]

I personally really LOVE this idea, im not going to have a lot of time to help out any team in my area besides kickoff weekend coming up with a design etc. to really make an impact during build season.

i'll probably go to the Florida Regional and offer my services for no charge to any teams that want it (i doubt it, but w/e)

if the team succeed with my help and the team earns it's way to Atlanta, and they want me to come along. I would come along as long as it wasn't a problem for the team (they have an extra bed at the hotel/they have space in the car etc.) and work even harder so that that team can succeed.

a few teams have asked me to help them out with selection lists before, and i didn't hesitate to help out.

here are a few other ways to think about this:

If FIRST does get the shot in the future to be on TV or something, they will need someone can point out little things to the viewers that strategists can see on the field (Karthik during GTR on Discovery Canada comes to mind)

political parties have their own strategists and some sports teams hire strategists so they can succeed.

In my honest opinion, if teams are that desperate that they are willing to pay someone to come up with strategies and to scout other teams for them so that they can succeed, they don't understand that in FIRST, it's not all about being 1st.
