*smiles* I know about the teams not telling the exact truth, I ran the scouting for our team last year too, but all the things that are likely to be exaggerated in the pits are equally likely to be exaggerated in these forms as well. The idea is now scouts can be more educated on the basic robot beforehand and so get right to the important questions meaning everything can run faster. I've been both in the pit and a scout and I really think if the "so what does it do?" questions could be cut out it would help everybody. I know autonomous will change, as a matter of fact in the little book there is a spare page and one of the things mentioned is that programs may change. All the forms are made so that there is an area for what the team said and then an area for what did you see where you can compare.
As for not getting enough results? Nothing works perfectly the first time, I'll admit that right away. I'm getting results but not every single team. As a matter of fact now that you bring it up I haven't heard from 93 yet. If your team permits it the data would be much appreciated. Also thanks for the sites, I'll be sure to look through them.
I've gotten some other comments like this so I'm going to attach the Microsoft word copy of the form to this. Its three types in one, 95 98 and 2000. 95 I know is compatible with Macs and Linux has WINE so I think it is safe to assume everybody will be able to play with it. You guys can do whatever you like with it but I do ask you keep our team name and number on it someplace. I hope to throw the real one in soon (in Microsoft publisher format) but that will probably take a while since as far as I know Delphi doesn't like that kind of file. Any comments/suggestions are welcome.
