Scouting Review
General Thoughts
The scouting system half functioned with our new website.
Remember to bring power brick for scouting laptop
Allocate a phone for data to push stuff, check to see if it works on apple.
Communicate with scouts about event-strategy channel threads and can input on match planning
Look into sim card dongle data thing so we don’t have to sacrifice a phone, team could get a cheap data plan
What Worked
- Tablet app worked well
- Server app scanning
- csv generation
- Match Schedule The website just started working after match 14.
- Analysis page was decent
What Broke
- Broke after match 28
- mass duplication of matches
To Fix (tracked on Implement for 2024)
- Check over /teams/XXXX for when db is accessed and why no data brakes the page
- Fix pushing that duplicates stuff
- When displaying numbers, round to sig figs
- Don’t display “no comments” comments
- Some sort of search bar somewhere to select a team
- Link teams on analysis page to team page
- Make urls for specific views
- fix average game pieces, currently says no matches played
- have a way to update robot picture
Pit Review
General Thoughts
- Three pit students was good
- Role of each student would be better defined during the season next year (2/3 pit students had been in the pit and were used to working as a pair)
- Allowed for an extra person to take over a checklist if needed
- Wasn’t as strenuous on each person
- Didn’t need as many batteries as we brought (at least for a 1-day event)
- Could have brought only enough to fit on the battery charger station
- Only cycled through a handful of batteries - partly because they are taken right off the charge and we can only have 3 plugged in at once
- Pit management was good
- Generally still overpacking
- Go through and remove things from toolbox, totes, milkcrates
- Further cut down packing list
- Get rid of bad stuff
What Worked
- Meeting DT fieldside post-match
- Reasons for practice field visits were generally communicated well (could still be a bit better)
What Broke/Went Wrong
- Wagos eating wires on intake (not enough slack)
- Intake bearings popping out
- Do bearing hats
- Glued connections came loose
- Add to checklists, maybe redo between events
To Fix
- Have one DT member go with the robot to queue if possible (not just pit)
- Make sure pit knows where DT does their match reviews
- More communication between DT/technician to pit crew
- Details on issues and any theories
- Also say if everything seemed good
- Ensure communication is calm and accurate as much as possible (intake did not disintegrate)
- Definitely spool ethernet cable or it’s way too long
- Practice field
- Leave early to be ready to load on right at our time slot
- Prep everything possible before going on to maximize full slot
- Time is very limited on the practice field at in-season events
- Make sure everyone knows what to take to the practice field
- Follow up on borrowed items earlier
- Keep track of/label spares and used items so that they don’t get put back on if they aren’t good (eg. spare neos that were cycled through)
- Bearing hats (bearings popping out)
- Unpack totes between events (to ensure we don’t overpack)
