the hardest part of logo motion

[Tbayhi]

Has anyone come up with an effective method for remembering what order the logos go in?

If I see a logo then we are in big trouble!

Doing FIRST for 10 years and counting

Assuming you're in the driver's station, scoring logos in front of yourself the From Right to left: Triangle, Circle, Square, Triangle, Circle, Square.

And if you can't remember that, think of it like this: The Circle always goes on the highest peg of the row, then to it's left is a square and to the circles right is a triangle. (Again, if you're in the driver's station scoring on yourself.)

If you're really in a pinch, look at your opponents peg board, and do the opposite.

if this is an issue I recommend just taping some symbols to the driver console in the correct order as a reminder.

We messed up once in two competitions. It isn't that hard to remember, but it happens.
Backwards logos are more fun anyways =P

Now that I've thought about it more, if my drivers need a reminder on what order to score tubes in, I'd probably start looking for new drivers...

Yeah that is what helped me pick our final drivers, one alway forgot the logo. I haven't ever had to tell our driver where to place a tube.

Don't know the logo, go scout and learn it for off-season!

Yes. Memorize it.

From the drive team's point of view:

Red = Right

Hmm, need boaters for drive team.

I've got kind of a fun idea. Take a red and blue sharpie and put red and blue lines right on the outside of your safety glasses in your peripheral vision. Then you ALWAYS know which goes where. No rhyme required.

Is this even a serious question? If the driver can't remember the logo that seems like a perfect time to find a new more competent one.

Oh I'm sure. Have you ever been down on field with the thought that you are driving the robot to show the hard work that your team[s] have put into the bot, then get VERY nervous? They sit in the stands cheering then you realize your view is getting limited, you are watching the other 5 robots as to not hit them in addition, you are attempting to score... not at easy as many drivers make it look!

[Navid Shafa]

Have the drive team score a logo once for practice? It's not really hard to remember. We've never had a problem, nor did any of the other people driving our robot.

We did a lot of practicing, but this never had to be anything we've focused on...
