This is the first year I feel we had a good, active coach, and was the first year we used a mentor coach. You have to put someone in at the position of coach that the drivers will listen to, and respect their strategies and opinions. I don't think we really achieved this until last year, and were able to compete at a higher level because of it.

Students weren't feeling left out, or excluded (at least none of them that I talked to). We put the best person in there to help the robot perform to it's full potential.
