Well the seasons done, and though many may or may not have noticed, we've undergone some serious changes. SigmaC@T's own "SigmaC@T Opponent Analysis Program" aka S.O.A.P. will be under new management next year, and my co-manager and I will be going on to college. (Though I'm considering sticking around as a mentor.)

The website has been changed, it was a rocky transition, and a lot of the links are still failing to work correctly, however the basic functions are there. The firefox problem has been solved with the new site, and the movies are up. My personal apoligies for the features that aren't working correctly yet, but give us some time.

The point of all this is, we'd like to know how we can improve S.O.A.P. for next year's competition. Just to get the ball rolling, we've been considering some things of our own.

SigmaC@T would like S.O.A.P. to start growing, we'd like to extend an offer to the rest of the teams out there. We need volunteer's to expand our reach to regionals we personally can't visit. We need teams to assist us in gathering information that's too detailed for us to handle on our own. Basically, we need your help. My personal thoughts are to create a S.O.A.P. Discipline (Sub-Team, Division, Dept, etc.) on every team that signs up to assist us, with credit given where its due. The tasks given to the teams assiting will be relatively easy. SigmaC@T will continue to produce S.O.A.P. manuals with detailed step-by-step instructions (With diagrams and pictures) on set up and running the infrastructure. We've done this for years, but this time, we want to see how far we can take it. Tell us your thoughts, and let's work together to take on the tedious efforts of scouting and data collection.
