Re: POLL: Will you be using a scoring aid?

I guess it fits in with the "I don't know" option, but I forgot to add it.


EDIT:
Using a palm pilot doesn't automatically make your coach have 60 less I.Q. points, he will still be able to do the same things he would without it, it is just a useful tool; like a calculator, or the cotton gin.


Your coach will be able to better make a strategy decision when he is properly informed. He will be more completely informed with a palm pilot, or other such score-keeping device. On our team, the coach doesn't drive the robot, and the drivers aren't automatons doing only what they are told while on the field. The coach will tell what the best strategy is, and the drivers will decide how to get it done, because it is their job to drive the robot; not the coach's.
Since all the palm pilot will be is a tool, it will improve efficiency. "put it where you think it should go" is fine and dandy, but I'd hate to be the coach when you lose the match by 2 points because you missed something.


Frankly, I find this blatant rejection of technology to be disturbing on a forum like ChiefDelphi, whose sole purpose is to promote it. A hammer is a hammer, and nobody refuses to use it because : "Real carpenters don't use hammers when building things."
