As a rookie team mentor (teacher) it was hard not to go ape-crazy when the driver kept getting close to the other alliance's scoring zone.

As a general observation, in the LA regional I saw many teams (some powerhouse) with an adult coach in the driver area. Sometimes hanging over the kids' shoulders even. I know my kids felt a little less stressed knowing I was there to give them direction when they got mixed up, and remind them of the strategy they worked on with the alliance.
