Scouting Continuous Improvement Discussion

Welcome to the FRC Scouting CID! Please feel free to leave any comments or suggestions on information you think should be scouted. This includes pre-event preliminary scouting and at-event match observation & team visitation. Also feel free to comment on layout/user interface possibilities. Please sign your entries (with--~~~~).

Current Scouting Metrics

Preliminary Scouting

• Team number
• Team nickname
• Team website (hyperlink, digital versions only)
• Rookie year
• Number and names of previous official competitions (divisions separate from Einstein) this season

• Number of team attending each of the above

• Performance and engineering awards this season, including multiplicities

• Draft order for each elimination placing

• Team 1114 Stats for last regional this season

• Calculated Contribution (World Percentile)
• Average Offensive Score (World Percentile)
• Seeding Score (World Percentile)
• Average Defensive Score (World Percentile)

• Win-loss-tie, absolute & percentile (100% high) rank for each official competition this season
• Recent awards

• names listed for 2 years before current season,
• or for perennial winners, numerical award:years ratio back to 2001 or rookie year (whichever is later)

• Average awards/year for latter

• Notes
  

The current quick color code system is: "Scary" (e.g. division placers, regional winners/multiple finalists, etc); "Important" (e.g. regional finalists and semifinalists, high draft quarter-finalists); "Notable" (e.g. regional quarter-finalists, multiple engineering award winners); and "Mentionable" (e.g. engineer award winners, high 1114 and/or W-L-T stats). Examples are very general and anything from some CD posts to incongruous 1114 stats can affect a team's code. The colors shouldn't replace carefully studying the rest of the scouting material.

Planned Scouting Metrics (IRI)

• Preliminary: Hanging ability (and record?)
