[Cow Bell Solo]

This year we had the bot done before shipping and we had splitted stuff up into three groups. 1)Driver 2)Arm Operator 3)Robo Coach, then ask the team who wanted to do what. Since only one wanted to be the Robo Coach she became the robo coach. Then for the Driver and Arm Operator we had those candidates drive multiple times, tried a couple of different senerios, tried the different abilities seperatly.

Then we ask the Senors on the team that wanted to drive, if they said yes they got what they wanted or could decide to let a lower class man if they thought they would be better for the team. Then to Juniors, Sophmores and then Freshmen.


Last year we did not have time to try driving the robot so during the practice matches on Thursday we had different pairings of drivers and then at the hotel decided who would be the best for the team.


Last years is not ideal, for two reasons, Reason One-that means we were still having some major bugs that needed to be worked out. Reason Two-They are called practice Matches for a reason, our final drivers did not get much practice in so they couldn't drive at the best of their abilities. That is why this year we picked our drivers before hand so they can practice during the practice matches that way they can drive at a higher ability.

That is what we did and sorry about the story
