Strategy Badges

[April_robo]

As I was walking around this weekend trying to get the scouting information I have collected to my team and talk strategy with our alliances. I ran into great difficulty. A few things I ran into:

1. Some teams had a 3 match turnaround and came off the field and were right back in queing.
2. I could not talk to my team in que because I am not allowed on the field.

This proved to be quite difficult as sometimes in the que was the only place we could get all our alliance members together to talk strategy. After I had gotten very frustrated I came up with a solution!!! (After all that is what FIRST is about, isn't it) I came up with the idea of a strategy badge. These people would be allowed in queuing but not allowed on the field during a match. This has become an issue because usually the coach is not the head strategy/scout person so they don't have the information.

I talked to a few coaches and other lead scouters on other teams and they thought this was a good idea. I was wondering if any other teams have run into this issue and what you think about the strategy badge.
