Re: Less Interest in Robots in the pits this year?
Our rookie team received a lot of interest for a lot of reasons.
But, for the "robot" questions, I'd have to say that it's the fault of the person who wrote the scouting form and/or coached the scouting team to NOT go and ask the in-depth questions of each pit team.
Now, also, there are a LOT of teams to scout out, so you have to get to the target teams and ask quick, crisp, sussinct questions in the pits to find their strengths and weaknesses.
So, no I don't think there was any "less interest" in the robots in the pits. Also, I saw a lot of teams TOUTING some particular feature on their pit storyboards, so maybe then you don't need to re-ask the question when the answer is posted in front of you.
Also, it's a two-way street. The pit crews should be SOLICITING input from other teams by saying "Hey, want to see my fancy multi-speed, mega-horsepower drive assembly?"
