DS Scouting System

[Magnechu]

Though I appreciate the links and the information in them, they don't offer many (or any?) experiences teams have had actually USING the scouting system. It only talks about the actual how-to. What I'm REALLY looking for is if it was effective or not, was it better than pen and pencil?

We used the DS scouting system at two regionals last year, and at both of them we were a "picked" team, we did not get to use our data to actually choose alliance partners.

But we did get useable data, and it was a lot quicker to compile than using pencil/paper methods.

Do the search I did. There are more threads in there. Some of them do discuss what you want to know about.
