We find that the best drive team works well together, with Jim (coach/team leader), and the rest of the team. This always puts the student leaders in driving positions.

Our previous drive team (Matt+Kitty) drove approx. 200 competition matches together, between their two FRC and OCCRA seasons and off-seasons. They would not have been together had they not worked well together. A lot of that has to do with OCCRA - they led the OCCRA team, drove, and worked many late nights to finish the OCCRA robots.
so practice, knowing the robot, dedication, and communication? am i forgetting anything?
