Flexible System to Allow Team Defined Scouting Attributes: Each team can define a list of "Common Notes" to make comments entry easier.

Picture Capable?: Planned feature for pit scouting

Match Score Capable?: Depends on the game. Data is more capability-driven than score-driven.

I think it is worth mentioning that with FRC Scout you are provided information to directly access the database backend and subsequently you can write your own queries to extract data from it. This will allow for powerful data processing.
