Re: Does your team use Laptops for Scouting?

Our team used to use laptops for everything when it came to scouting. I overhauled the system making sure that it was all paper with as many comments as possible and only the necessary data.

Robots are inconsistent and to develop good match strategies and make good selections during alliance selections you need to understand each robots capabilities and potential and their average score is often irrelevant for how they will play with or against you.

There is only so much a computer can do, strategy takes critical thinking and statistics can only help you so much. With how much time and effort imputing data takes it becomes more of a hurt then a help especially when you are limited in man power for scouting.
