Re: Transition between Quals and Elims

Like others, we scout the entire event (Thurs-Sat), and do our best to watch every robot every match to record data in our Labview database. On Friday night we meet after the event for generally at least 3 hours to "rank" teams Yes/Maybe/No, and then rank within those categories and compare the whole list, making sure we have at least 30 robots on our list.

Saturday we sit with the list in excel (in addition to scouting), and watch every single match for our yes/maybe robots to see if they got better/worse and adjust the rankings accordingly. About 10 matches prior to selections we finalize our list and print it in our pits (make any adjustments by hand after that). We do this regardless of where we are ranked.
