Another thing that I like to do is blindfold my drivers to where they can only listen to me while driving. This make both parties better in communication, but make sure to have your thumb by the disable button on your driver station . Good Luck this Season!
I love the idea of pulling a motor pwm out to simulate what could go wrong in a match.

And I've thought of blindfolding the drivers but we don't have a full field (only 1/4 of FRC carpet) and I don't want to damage anything or anyone but I'll keep that in mind for if we do get a chance to practice on a full field before one of our competitions.
