Re: Tips for Team Promotion to Scouts

I hear everyone saying perform on the field. I think the problem was if you are "on the bubble" as someone stated then you might be overlooked. Also, I take to heart the suggestion to be highly distinguishable from other teams. I've heard that we were actually wanted for an alliance but our number was similar to others and we were confused with someone else. Completely different functioning robots. Because our team is small we are working on strategies so people know not only who we are but which robot is ours. I think this is where aesthetics come into the design that some teams don't think about. Especially important when "on the bubble". I also like the idea of a communication board in the pit educating people about your bot. Thank you for all the feedback. We are starting to build a business plan for next year based on your gracious professionalism.
