In Reply to: true....maybe teamwork? posted by Daniel on 1/20/2000 1:26 AM MST:



Okay, I was on the floor last year and without going into extreme detail the problem with the teamwork and strategy planning that is allowed 2 minutes prior to the match is (1)Some teams really thought that their robot and drivers could do things that were important for the overall strategy to work and then the machine either broke or couldn't do what they said it could. (Maybe it could in practice - but then was unable to in the heat of the battle) and (2) Some teams said they would do certain things, then for whatever reason did something totally diffferent. I don't think and would hope that those teams didn't purposely do that but, in either case - Strategy and Teamwork is only as good as the alliance partners ability to be forthright and then complete the tasks that they had agreed to. I love strategic planning, particularly when a good plan comes together. Some of our best and most exciting matches last year were in the nationals with our 2 partners working together as a team, interchanging places between fixing each others robots, struggling and fighting together to survive. We didn't, but we made a great team! Sorry , I'm rambling ..... so anyways - Yes, most teams are very, very open to suggestions, but then comes the ability to execute the plan!
