: Question 8/6/00: Since the forming of alliances, teams have been shopping around their robots by using pamphlets, signs, websites, etc... Do you think that these methods actually help a teams chances in getting picked?


I doubt it. One team made an impression on us, the RoboDawgs. We actually went and looked at their robot. Most teams pamphlets went on top of the cabinet though. But I don't think that the pamphlets do much good. They may remind some people about a robot they know is good but forgot about. I think people should pass them out in the stands if they want to be more effective. Having the specs as the robot performs in front of you might give you insight to why to robot is at its level.

I know our team's flier was a stretch. It said what we could do, carry 4 balls, etc., but it didn't say anything about our low speed/low power.

No one will base their pick solely on a pamphlet. But they might look at a team with an impressive flier.
