After a match, we do the following in the pits:

1) Inspect for damage and repair and "tweak" if necessary
2) Tether the machine and:
2a) Place machine in proper gear for next match and make sure transmissions are engaged
2b) Reset goal grabber to "start" position (angled up so robot will be <36 inches long)
2c) Reset ball basket
3) Change battery and put previously used battery on charge
4) Check switches on operator interface for proper position for start of match
5) Repeat 1, above

While in line for next match the following usually occur:

1) Tether machine and check battery voltage reading to double or triple check that we have installed a fully charged battery
2) Recheck settings of operator controls

I've probably forgotten something, but this is pretty much what we do between matches.
