Was waiting for someone to start this thread.
I am worried as well. We plan on using our scouting database to back up our proposed strategies during qualification matches, but it doesn't negate the fact that we will be asking other teams to sacrifice things like shooting into the 10 point goal and throwing over the truss in order to allow us to.
We plan to do most of the "heavy lifting" to accomplish our in-match objectives. In fact, we would prefer a box-on-wheels robot that plays into our strategy than a mediocre team that takes 5 seconds to pick up the ball and pass it to us. When you're thinking about things like that day 1, it doesn't look good...
As a coach of a moderately successful team, I think the burden of responsibility will fall on me and my students/mentors to reach out more than ever, both before and at events. I hope that goodwill extended off the field will be returned on the field.
One can dream, right?
