Re: What did everyone learn from this weekend's scrimmages?

We had never been to a scrimage before, and what a valuable experience it was. With respect to our specific bot, we were able to see how our dumper mechanism (which we just put on that morning) worked, and figure out how to get the kinks out regarding balls jamming in the hopper. With respect to the game in general, I agree the moving in autonomous is vital. I also think that scouting will be difficult, as you essentially need two scouts per team: one to watch the human player and one to watch the robot. Strategy regarding who picks up the empty cells and where to deliver them to will also be important, I think. Finally, a fast, efficient dumper can be an effective weapon. Shooters may become more important as the weeks go by, but at the scrimage we attended they were not, on the whole, very effective.
