Re: POLL: Will you be using a scoring aid?
wheres the not gonna use anything option
EDIT: Call me old fashioned, but a coach should be able to make a viable strategy decision on the fly at any point during the match. ALSO, your coach isn't going to be jsut focusing on the rack (although most of the focus will be here). You need to be aware of where all the robots on the field are at the same time, what they're doing, how quickly they're doing it. EVEN IF i thought using a palm/laptop/whatever were effective, it is only concentrating on 1 portion of the game. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE SCORE, you just need to know how to increase your score and decrease theirs which is fairly simple, if you see a row of 6, put a spoiler on either the 3rd or 4th spider leg to make it a row of 2 and a row of 3.
As said earlier, back in the day, which was a wednesday by the way, the multipliers were ridiculous (in 2001 it relied on how much time it took your alliance to "get satisfied" with their round). Coaches did not need a palm pilot to tell them the exact score. They just knew they needed to put balls in goal, put bigger balls on a goal, get both those goals balanced on the platform, and get the bots back in the home zone AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.
I think your coach should be able to observe the situation and know what to do without too much effort based on pure common sense combinded with a little logic. Thats how i'll be rollin this year.
