Re: Wanna Win More Matches? Try Using Strategy Mats!

I love this idea. I recently built myself a heavy-duty version of this out of some 80/20 and some whiteboard material. (It's to scale! )
Having been designing and building robots for a little while now, I thought it would be pretty simple to construct a box on the back to store markers/erasers, but it actually took a minute to think about.

Anyway, this is really going to be critical this year. Until now, this level of cooperation never existed. By making clear exactly what it is that you'd like to accomplish with a match strategy, both tacticians and drivers are more likely to not only be on the same page, but to agree. Don't forget about statistical scouting as well, though. Less cooperative teams are much more likely to listen to you if you have data on your side. That, and you know, it'll help make sure you're right in the first place.
