But what if we really CAN hit 100% in Autonomous, even though you've never seen the robot. If you're asking me to sit out auto because you've never seen it, eh, good luck with that. What if we can do 1 ball at 100% and a second at 75%, whereas your robot has only ever done 1 ball at 50%?
The video idea seems seems interesting at first glance. But anyone can hit 100% of their shots and catch 100% of the tosses if it's staged. Nothing ever replaces on-field performance, which means we have to trust everyone in the first match and adapt from there.
If a team really did just get their autonomous working 5 minutes ago and wants to try it out on the field, who am I to say no? It's their hard work that needs to turn into their inspiration at that point.
I think the real thing that needs to happen in pre-match talks is about what to do when things go wrong, such as a bad pass or bad autonomous. Even teams who are at 100% can have a bad match.
