Many people are afraid of failure. I have talked to a lot of team mates that I have urged to try driving, I got a lot of the "I don't want the pressure" or the "I don't want to mess up" response. Driving a robot is always fun, but for some people, the official competition scares them. It just seems as if we were told from birth to never mess up and be perfect. Sometimes, you just have to let go and just enjoy it.
