Talk:DEWBOT XI Indiana Robotics Invitational
From DEW Robotics
Contents
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
