Post-Mortem - What worked

  • We were picked by an awesome team (118) and joined a great alliance
  • Rear RC guide - did not lose RCs after installation
  • 118's Drive Coach was awesome (See Ryan's emailed observations below)
  • Ryan kept the drive team calm & focused
  • Close stacking - better use of scoring platform space and no lost RCs
  • 3-Tote Autonomous
  • Can grabber hooks pinned
  • We worked before we played
  • MAR cheered us on
  • 225's scouting system

Post-Mortem - What didn't

  • Can Burglar replacement failure (what about having ready spares?)
  • Can Burglar hooks rotated (fixed by pinning)
  • Some NavX weirdness still (fixed or band-aided)
  • MAR got into eliminations (us), but underrepresented.

Could be better

  • Traffic/scoring choreography
  • We could have moved in autonomous after Can Burglar failure to pick up Robot Set points (4)
  • Can we add a noodle "cow catcher" to clear litter
  • Faster alignment needed - clear communications essential
  • We do not have a drive coach like 118
  • 118's drive team thought like the coach. They were able to recognize and exploit opportunities without explicit direction. They were capable of thinking on their feet.

Important to remember

  • Watch out for hubris (arrogance)
  • Be the team people want to work with
