Re: Strategy Sub-Team

We have two presentations (slides + video) on our season strategy and scouting strategy. We are trying to get them up on our website.

We don't have "separate" strategy subteams. They are overlays from other subteams. We have the entire team in on the Kick Off design strategy for several days. This lasts about a day and an half. They we're off to prototyping.

Our scouting app team spends time developing methods to capture desirable traits for our first and second picks. In that process we find other strategy nuggets.

At competition, we have a student specifically tasked with setting match strategy based on analysis before the competition and updated with our scouting data on our smartphone app. Our scouting system kicks out our draft pick lists. We then have a smaller group of about half a dozen get together to set up our draft lists. That team is made up of mentors, lead scouts, match strategy and a pit scout.
