Re: Keeping the Pits Streamlined
 

Our team just had a discussion on this last night, and decided we needed to change what happens in our pit. i'd explain what our pit/rules are like, but my POV is minorly skewed :rolleyes: , so instead i'm going to redirect a mentor or two here :D

Thanks, it nice to know other teams are reforming. Could you tell me what you guys did before this discussion?

Re: Keeping the Pits Streamlined
 

Nothing much. we were basically talking about pros and cons from this year and started talking about different things and this subject came up.

i emailed the thread to the team but nobody has replied to me nor here so i don't think anyone's looked here =(

Re: Keeping the Pits Streamlined
 

On 27 we always followed a schedule, if there was any question where you were supposed to be or what you were doing we pulled out the schedule and checked. The only time the entire team was in the pits was the team cheer Friday and Saturday mornings and when we moved stuff in and out (many hands make for light work) Aside from that we traditionally have a pair of mentors, an Electrical/Programming student, a Mechanical student, 2 people who answer questions (Technically the two Pit Crew students can do this job as well but redundancy is a plus) The drive team is nearby but their job is to be planning for the next match NOT fixing the robot.

Some could argue that 27 should do the team cheer outside of the pits but I think it would lose a lot of the impact it has now.
