Here is the 2023 release of FRC Team 180’s SPAMalytics Scouting System (I miss calling it the Poor Man’s Scouting System) The SPAMalytics Scouting System is offered for teams who want to scout, but don’t have the resources to pull together their own system (yet). It is easy to set up and run. All you need is to print off one Scouting Sheet pdf for each team in your event.

Welcome back, Alex. If you only have 4 students, then any type of scouting is going to be problematic. You might have to lean on TheBlueAlliance and statbotics.io for your scouting information. It’s not as individualized as the SPAMalytics, but the OPR and EPA numbers will probably get you going in the right direction.
