Re: Drive team stress?

As it was said, your team picked you for a reason. Your the one down on the field that has to make the split-second desicisions. Your the driver, and you know what your doing, and what your robots real strenghts are. I was a driver for 2-3 years on an FRC team and 2 years on an FTC Team. For me, After every match, I usually had to sit down, breath, and calm down. Just find a spot and go there everytime, away from the rest of the team.

I know with my team, sometimes one or two people wouldnt aggree with what I did during the match, and it may happen to you, but you have to remember that your the driver, you have the best view of whats happening on the ground floor.

Most importantly, have fun when your down there! Not alot of team memebers get to go onto the real playing field. It's FIRST, your suppose to have fun!

I aggree with the energy drink comment too... it never sat well my first year of FRC driving.
