Watching game tapes DEFINITELY helps... you can discover all kinds of little things that you can use to improve your differential score.

For instance... our gripper used to be slow on the up/down, so, if you could keep the ball rolling we'd have to follow it for a while. Now, it takes about 0.75sec for the ball to go from the pickup to the shoot position.

...On that note, watching game tapes of yourselves can help you identify critical points of your own gameplay you can improve on or help to minimize the chances of another team capitalizing on a specific characteristic of your robot to their advantage.

Go Teams!

Yeah, we watched most of our tapes over an over again to see how we can be better. Also good scouters can be a BIG help.
