Scouting Tools

[Jessica Boucher]

Well....

First of all, not in the pit. The pit isn't the place for scouting (unless youre actually looking at the robots), the stands are. You're going to have too many people running around to have room for a kiosk.

Secondly, I'll be honest, in strategy I always prefer my own opinion of teams over other team's opinions. That's not to say that your opinion isn't good, its saying that your opinion of things and my opinion of things may differ. What you think is fast I may think is slower than molasses. Why? Because we're both working for two completely different teams, and when your team is looking at robots you'll be looking at them in how they relate to your team, not anyone elses. And that's not a bad thing either! It's just not something that I would personally use....and I think your resources could be better used elsewhere.

I also think the open strategy database thing has been done to death. If you're doing it for the judges, the judges have already seen it before. Though I do like the idea of having printing facilities available....maybe you could work that into something that FIRST hasn't seen before. Think outside the box a little, and if you need to bounce ideas off of me, just let me know, I love to hear them

Good luck!
