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?
