Re: the hardest part of logo motion

We number the pegs, and then memorize it from there. 1 and 4 are squares, 2 and 5 are circles and 3 and 6 are the triangles.

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

just look around the venue and put the tubes in reverse...There is bound to be a logo somewhere or you can just put a picture on the classmate

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

I love how nobody had thought of reversing the Logo and setting it as a laptop background :3

Or use this wonderful rhyme.
"Blue, white, red. Blue, white, red. I'll say it til its stuck in your head!"

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

Cell phone, or iPod background. You look at it every day and after seeing it a few times you should be able to memorize it.

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

As a driver, I see the logo as the French flag (blue-white-red). And besides, once you memorize the red is on the right of you (or the blue on the left for the matter), you can't really go wrong with the others.

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

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.

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

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.

I saw a driver or two with the correct order written on their arm in Sharpie this weekend

As a coach this weekend, I don't see an issue here at all. Just memorize it, triangles on your right, squares on your left (on each individual rack).

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!

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

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...

Re: the hardest part of logo motion

I try to look at the giant FIRST banner, generally hanging up at every competition. Extremely helpful.

Maybe put a FIRST logo on your Dashboard would help? Then you could always see it.

I was the driver for 2 years in highschool and the coach for 5 years for very competitive robots in elimination settings, as well as a 4 year varsity football starter so yes I do know exactly about performing in high stress situations. I stick by my previous statement, if someone can't handle the pressure it's time to find someone who can.
