- When placing a gear during auton, it is opposite of the light and it is a horizontal slot. NOT FACE DOWN
- Order of the rotors, rotors don’t work if the one before it isn’t spinning
- The reserve gear can’t be used in auton and don’t forget to place it during teleop.
- The ropes at 30 seconds left
- If there are gears your team can pick up, be sure to let them know where it is and guide them (if they can hear you)
- If the gear is placed at the very back of the peg, pull it up quick because it won’t fall off if its placed on properly
- Don’t move preplaced gears on the airship as it can result in a red card
- If the gear is on the very edge of peg, pull it up a bit and tell your team to push the peg in more so you can get the gear without worrying it will fall
- Do not jump up and down on the airship, I understand you may be excited but it might cause a rope to fall or a robot to fall which we don’t want. Saw this happen while scouting a match.
- Use hand signals to communicate, most teams do it, and some teams don’t. Also you have to be quick about things
- Look at all 3 pegs no matter what, I’ve seen many matches where gears are left on them.
- Be patient with gears, Make sure the robot is away from the peg then pull up, or at least not right on top of the gear still. Some robots have roofs over their gear holder which makes it impossible for Human Players to pull it straight up, so be patient a bit.
- During Auton if the gear is placed, pull it up slowly but not too slow, if you know you cant get it and you’re afraid the gear might fall in the robot, just hold stay where you are with the gear and wait until auton is over so the robot can move and then continue the gear, that way if it falls it won’t be inside the robot and cause the team to not be able to get gears without causing fouls
- Let your drivers know if you think they are spending too much time on a single peg, tell them to try a different one.
