Re: its very complex this year, well so I've heard.

consistently ...

Start with understanding the rules, move to determining your strategy, start with the thing your team chooses to place highest priority on, and work it til you perfect it. As you conquer that, move on to the next. It is always better to have one thing that works most of the time, than a bunch of things that don't work most of the time.

If you have space, play the game with your team, like they did in the assist section of the videos. Mark your zones. Have 3 team members be robots and pass the ball and one team member be human player. We actually just used some of our old basketball balls for our autonomous parts. But, when they walk through the game, it helps them understand. So the team acting it out would then call on team members not involved in the acting out to calculate and explain scoring. Others were allowed to add to, or debate an answer. We didn't move on until we came to an agreement. Doing this really helped my team dig into the rules, debate disagreements, and figure out what we FEEL is the correct interpretation.

Good Luck & Welcome to FRC!
