Re: So Glad That Scouting Has A Place This Year
I feel like this year, if a team can do one task very effectively, it will have a place on an alliance. Even if the robot is completely helpless in terms of breaching or shooting, it could still be built well for defense, which could make it valuable.

The key to good defending this year will not be nearly as much the robot as the driver. It doesn't take too many fouls to offset the points you're costing the other alliance with your defense.

Re: So Glad That Scouting Has A Place This Year
Last year, scouting was a mess for my team. Not only did we have Recycle Rush, quite uneventful, we were scouting on Xbox controllers, and didn't have much time to train people.

This year we have a super awesome game, and are working on a app for tablets because while xbox controllet's worled, tablets may make it funner.

Can you elaborate on this? I'm so curious to see how this was implemented.

I think one of the AZ teams used wii controllers for scouting.

We used to do this, (except with playstation controllers) and it's actually pretty easy. We had a java program that counts keypresses, and each key is for one criteria for one team. The buttons on the controllers are then bounded to the keys. Last season, after much frustration with data reliability (some people just don't understand buttons) we switched to using an android app.
