Seconding Alan.

Talk to your drivers. Identify things that they do in the same way, all the time.

For example, our drivers this year always "spit out the tube and slightly overrided the lift down" to hang a tube.

So, the programmers developed an "autoscore" button that the drivers can hit to take half a second to perform the "scoring procedure". The lift/arm/claw operator decided to put the "autoscore" button on the base driver's sticks, and he can just tell him to score once he was snagged.

It worked out great.
