How does your team scout?

[Vermeulen]

This year, we had some students build and code an optical scanner system, which was built in the week before our regional out of some scrap angle iron, wood, and a digital camera. By Champs, we had (almost) fine tuned the software, and made a scantron-like scouting form, and 80% of our picks were in the Curie finals. We might release the software at some point, too, after we get rid of some bugs.
