The Scouting and Strategy Department helps our team to succeed in the regional competition finals every year. They observe the other robots in competition and interview members of other FIRST teams to keep track of their qualities. They use all of this information so that we know what teams can help us most as allies, and what strategy we should use in our matches. They also determine what characteristics are most important for the robots. Because of them, our team stays competitive in the Final Round of Regionals.
