Did you ever wonder what it is like behind the plexiglass?

[Peyton Yeung]

I don't think it's very loud behind the plexiglass but maybe that's because when I get in the zone it is so hard to hear anything.

Yeah, I pretty much block everything out. I can't hear a thing but what my coach and arm guy say.

Great video with the remote mic! Thanks for sharing!

I coached a match in Jersey last year. My words were something like this.

*Teleop Start*
"Jack, get rid of that ball."
"Looks like only one team is going to be playing in the zone." (we were in the defensive position zone)
"We're at 60."
"Oh look Jack, another one's coming. I don't think they're too great at scoring. I'll let you know if it's a problem."
"We're at 30. We've got this one, just don't get us a penalty." (Making sure we played tough, legal defense used to be easier.)
*Game Over*
"Alright. I think we got that one. Good game guys."
*RESULTS*
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!! ALRIGHT!!!! 422!!!!"

This, however, doesn't account for the fact that I can feel my heart throbbing all over my body, and I stuttered a bit.

Idk if anyone saw but last year we used an HD head camera to record matches from a cool perspective. You don't realize a lot of quick glances and other nuances until you look back. It's really like 1080p dejavu. If people want to see a match or two from Archimedes last year maybe I'll bug some teammates to upload them.

But I got some awkward faces walking into the bathroom with it strapped to my head

This is really good stuff and entertaining. I wish more teams did this, I know my team will be doing this next year.

I wonder how this would play out if the teams on Einstein were mic'd up.

It's much quieter over by the human player end. Although we do get to make small talk with the scoring operators

That almost exactly describes our drive team, with myself being the vocal manipulation operator =P
