Re: What to work on for Worlds as a rookie team?
Congrats on the Rookie All-Star award, I am not the most experienced when it comes to division playoffs (my team has had a dry run over the past few years), but this would be my advice. First off (as stated above) be consistent, if there is one thing that I have learned with scouting, is that we would rather have a robot that does one or two things the same way every time than a robot that tries to do everything a different way every match. Second, If you can find someway to make your bot truly unique you may be looked at for just that. If you have something that turns out to be useful and no other (or very few) team(s) has that mechanism, strategy, etc. you boost yourself in picklists by being unique. I would advise against changing your robot significantly to accomplish these things unless you know for a fact that it will improve things significantly, add to ease of use, etc. It's better for your drive team to have the experience with the current bot then completely change it around on them, this all ties back to consistency. Do your thing and do it well, teams will notice.
Good luck in St. Louis,
Skye
