Re: Question How to mentor Driver FRC Team

They need to be extremely dedicated. Arguably the most dedicated members of the team, willing to spend hours every day driving the robot, and repeating drills over and over. They need to be perfectionists, understanding that they are never done. Even if they've become "good" at driving, there is always more they can work on. They should never need to be asked to practice, or to do a drill again, or pestered to practice more. They need to want to do it themselves, and get angry and hold others accountable when for some reason they can't practice, or something is preventing them from practicing.

Trying to find members who can drive a robot skillfully and who possess the above skills is really hard.

In fact, most teams have a hard time finding 2 people who fit the bill.

...but if you can find them, it's probably the second best way to realize massive improvements in performance of your FRC team on the field.
