Re: Timid Drivers

I remind our drivers that the lifespan of a robot is about 45 to 60 minutes of actual match time. Once the season is over the robot is over too, no matter how pristine. So use high gear, use the bumpers, get in pushing matches, hit the walls, take running starts etc. You can usually get away with a lot more abuse then you'd think before something breaks.

Besides, fixing stuff in the pits is fun (although it doesn't really seem it at the time).
