Re: Dean's List Advice
How you dress probably isn't going to be the deciding but it could matter. I could definitely see some judges liking one candidate more because they were dressed very professionally. In something...

Re: Five Person Drive team in 2017
Seems like a lot of stuff is pointing to the return of minibots. 5th drive team member is likely a driver for the minibot. Doesn't make too much sense to have 6 human players per alliance.

Re: Scouting as an Aliiance Captain
Definitely scout as if you were going to be an alliance captain and make a pick list no matter what. Even if you don't end up being one, a pick list can be critical if you were picked by a team that...

Re: Utilizing breaks between matches.
Something that is fairly simple to put together could also be a video package for each event showing matches of the event from previous years. If an event is new, maybe just have video from the...

Re: The Best Team(s) in need of an event win/
Definitely team 60 from Arizona! They have been a finalist 5 times in the last 4 years and haven't won the gold since 2011. It's honestly not a matter of if they will win again but when and I think...

Re: Reliability of Pixy Camera?
Agreed. We did basically the same and had a 100% auto shot accuracy at champs. We did use a higher resolution for more precise off center measurements but it was working almost as good with a lower...

Re: Most Competitive Events 2017
Going by just IRI probably isn't going to be very accurate since quite a fair bit of good teams don't attend. For us, if a team won a regional as a captain or first pick, they are on the "watch out"...
