thunderchicken scouting

[swando]

it seems everyone and their team and their mothers team and their team's mother and their mother's friend from college and her team and all the people she works with and their team and all their kid's teams have a scouting database that they're going to be putting on the internet and updating live and everything... but a drop in the bucket - the thunderchickens are going to be having a database with scouting info on every match for every team in fields like human player, durability, limbo, power, speed, agility, strategy, and rating of all these. we use weighted averages in a web-based database format.... etc. etc. etc. but we wont be posting it on the internet to my knowledge. so if you'd like to get some good reliable up to date info on other teams (or your own), see us in pittsburgh, ypsilanti, chicago, or at nationals. we'll be the bright green fellows all huddled over the glowing ibooks, and we'll be glad to show you around. happy robots season all.

I agree that everyone is now building Databases for scouting, but I would love to see teams take there expertise and combine it inot a single super database. This would mean that different portions would be available and resources would be better.
