Re: Pit Scouting

Lots of times pit scouting seems to be assigned to students who have nothing else to do and have no idea about how a robot works.

Our robot last year had a welded frame that was 5 feet tall and designed to catch and re-cycle the balls back from the tower.

The best part of the season was when the pit scouters would ask "Can you go under the tunnel?".

We usually told them "yes". We figured that if we really wanted to, we could hit the tunnel fast enough to tear off the top 4 feet of the robot and go through it .....
