Re: Game Footage-Usefull Tool?

Last season, we would review our footage after the day ended. Five members sitting around a screen and discussing the action that took place. Our footage was shot with a tripod from the stands, covering about 95% of the field. It is much easier to explain to a driver with footage than it is to say "remember when team x's robot was behind you."

Reviewing the footage after a match would probably be more useful, but our logistics weren't that great with a skeleton crew. Although taking a day's footage and reviewing it as a whole would provide better prospective for a driver. If a driver is told not to do 'x' action, the driver might consciously think not to do 'x' and forget to do 'y' action.
