What we decided to do on 1403 this year in order to get the drive coach, myself, the necessary information was have the lead scouting mentor or the scouting captain come down to the pits before every match. We then discussed strategy, robots abilities, balancing, and other necessary topics.

Sometimes we ran into the problem where we had matches very rapidly and there was not enough time to return to the pits. In this case we just discussed multiple matches and it seemed to work really well for us.
