Re: Timid Drivers

notes from our Drivers Training Manual (pg. 13)

1. Drive it like you stole it
1.1. During the build season you will participate in build sessions, as a result you will develop a sense of ownership. This sense of ownership will cause you to tend to want to be careful with the robot while driving/operating. This is the opposite of what we want to do. The robot is built robust for a reason, be willing to push its limits.

1.2. Your job is to drive the robot to win. The pit crew’s job is to fix the robot and keep it in perfect working order so you can perform your job.
