Re: im my teams coach

Ah, Paul's post reminds me of seeing him in action, which reminds me of another important thing the drivers need to understand:

Coaches aren't yelling so much as they are speaking loudly. Since things need to be audible over the noise of the arena, we have to be LOUD and CLEAR. Inflection only implies urgency, not that the drivers are doing something wrong. They should listen to the words, not the voice. Excitement doesn't mean take the hands off the robot either.

Pay specific attention to what you're allowed to touch on the operator console. When something goes wrong on the robot, the drivers should probably be the ones clicking buttons on the classmate (though I honestly don't remember the specifics on what's allowed -- will read it closer to competition on the 24th).
