Scouting

After qualification rounds at competitions, there is a playoffs bracket with 3 robots on each team. Each alliance captain selects two other bots to form an alliance in hopes of winning the competition. The scouting team's job is to assess which bot works best with their team and what combination will ensure the greatest success at competitions. It is also the scouting team's job to create a chart of statistical data of each bot at the competition. Without scouts, strong alliances cannot be formed, which makes it harder to win competitions. The head of the scouting team is Joseph Lee.
