where you actually meet Picklist
The picklist turns a weekend of scouting into a decision made in ninety seconds on the field. Good ones separate “who is best” from “who is best alongside us” and explicitly mark teams to avoid. They also get rebuilt on Saturday morning, because Friday's data was collected before half the field finished repairing their robots.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
