Totally agree with everything up there. This also relates back to strategy and being able to recognize what's happening on the field and making decisions. You could have a driver that is at the top of their game knowing how the robot moves and still have tunnel vision set on just their machine on the field.

As soon as I saw this thread and saw that a member of 25 posted it, I thought back to 2003 when I was a drive coach on 87. I think the student driving that robot was actually built into the control system. It was fun to watch, but not fun to go up against...especially when it came down to finals!
