Re: Week 2 Analysis

As I mentioned to Travis at the competition and have posted elsewhere, the big problem is giving the refs too much to do and dividing their attention. A simple solution is to have 6 scorekeepers, one watching each robot. They simply record possessions and scores. Only one robot to watch. This frees refs to look for and record only fouls.

As for the Q24 match Travis posted, as someone who was there watching for an uninvolved team, the podium stayed unlit for enough time for people in the stands to notice and start commenting.

Side note, thanks for posting the Q5 video Travis. In that match our code had high and low gear mixed up in autonomous, but we had no video of it. I want to use this as a reinforcement reminder about the dangers of not checking EVERYTHING about your autonomous code.
