Cool Re: A Coach for the Alliance - The Supercoach

There are a few qualities necessary to be a super_coach.

Good Scouting data.(that have an analytic side, graphs)
Preferably A upper ranked robot (but not always)
An awareness of who their allied with and the opponents(EVERY MATCH)
Experience as driver, humanplayer, etc.

Our team is special to have a robotics student design and program a scouting system that tracks all the teams.
This covers robots from being disabled to "do they have an autonomous" every match. All can be analyzed on a computer to note trends of robots for recent matches. Also see the percentage of chance to winning a match.

A Super_coach has to have the data or the numbers to show his alliance members. And, prove the credentials to compose the statement. This is what we have recorded you doing on the field. Scout data is crucial for that reason. This helps clears the emotions, feelings or pride of teams when discussing who takes leadership with your allies.

Its handy for a super_coach to be aware of who their against. They can refer back to their scouting data to see what the teams are effective at and pursue strategies for winning the match. A playbook is very HELPFUL in communicating to allies the task a super_coach wants them to perform. That takes guts and confidence for a person to do but is easy when you have the data to show.

Frank was the ideal super_coach for team 701 last year which in return brought back our first blue banners.
