Re: paper: Scouting sheet v 3

We use a simpler sheet with less technical information, we look at performance only and don't include specifics. For instance, you can replace the transmission / speeds / drivetrain / Wheel type / Weight / fields with simply:

Speed (1 slow to 5 fast)
Maneuverability (1 can't turn to 5 very agile)
Pushing Ability (1 easily pushed to 5 easily pushes)

Come drafing time, it doesn't matter how the robot is built, it only matters how it can perform. We also include a chart for each match where we show starting location and a sketch of the auton track the robot used, this shows us if they can change auton easily and where we may be able to intercept/avoid them. Also, track how many ringers they score where during a match, that gives info on where you may need stoppers, etc...
