Re: Human Players - Analyst

Well, I'm the (unofficial) analyst for my team (my team has two human players, I generally undertake the roll of analyst, while my partner acts as feeder), and I found a lot of coaches didn't have anything on hand they wanted me to do.

Personally, I made time calls so coaches could focus on the game rather than the clock. I also made rough score calls (up 15, down 15, etc.). I helped our alliance partners align themselves when hanging tubes, kept an eye out for any stray tubes we may need, and surveyed traffic around the towers towards the end game.

All in all, I, personally, basically acted as a second set of eyes for the coaches on the alliance. While they focus on the robots in the match, I could focus on the robots and the field, since I did not have to worry about instructing the drivers on anything and just relaying observations to the coaches.

Generally, I found a lot of teams had no preference whether or not their human player was analyst, but found what I offered them during matches useful, especially the time calls from someone other than them and the score differences.

Just my experiences.
