Pit Scouting Questions?

I use a pit scouting defense predictor that analyzes the other 3 teams statistics to determine which 3 defenses are best to put out It's a very simple excel function that took about 30 minutes to make if even. If you have any questions about that (like want help making it if you desire to or want to see a screenshot of it), PM me.

Also, at our last event, we took pictures of every robot and our awesome media team edited the photos and created a scouting board with pictures of every robot. They then set up the poster board by the monitor that displays current ranks in the pit so everyone can see the pictures.

With those pictures, we also dragged them into our excel sheet on each teams "profile" so I could see them on the field on the laptop I use for alliance selection. I am personally going to see if we can get 2 pictures of every robot this event. One for the overview like last time. And hopefully a pic of every drive train too.

That is basically the pit data we collect and how we use it.

RE: Scaling question in Pits

Yes= 1,
Maybe= 0.5
No =0

May I suggest a tweak to your assessment technique..

Visually witnessed in game=1000
Visually witnessed in practice or on tape=100

In pits....
Yes = 0.5
Maybe= 0
No=0

Haha. Read my post that is at the top of the second page (the one right above this post). We only use that pit data for day 1 defense selection. Day two, our defense predictor gets moved to Stand Data Mode. Then we use our day 1 quantitative data for day 2 (quals and elims)
