Re: Driver? or Drivers?

While it may seem initially that the robot could be driven better by a single person (no need to sync movements with the other driver), in practice it does not work that way. At the actual competition the pressure put on the drive team is incredible and arguably comparable to any other sport at the state level. As a result, having many tasks assigned to a single person can go wrong very easily.

It may seem hard to coordinate action between the two drivers at first but with some practice two drivers quickly outperforms a single driver. Our drivers after minimal practice were able to coordinate extremely well.
