Re: two drrivers at once?

We have an entire drive team. This consists of the following:

-Driver: Controls movement of robot; steering, speed, etc.
-Operator: Controls external "limbs" or parts of the robot; minibot deployment system, tube-grabbing/placement system, etc.
-Drive team Coach: Usually a strategy team member, oversees what both the driver and operator do and acts as a navigator and another set of eyes to watch the events on the field.

So to answer your question, yes, you can have more than one driver. Also, I recommend you do because it takes a lot of stress off of just one person and divides the jobs required for controlling your robot.
