Make sure all your alliance's human players know (follow) the rules, can load each other's robots correctly, and understand the rest of your jobs. Before the match, make sure there's a human player going to each location.

Be good at catching and loading without the ball bouncing out of a robot. Know what to do when a field resetter walks up to you with a ball, and do it quickly.

Pay attention to the refs. If you're getting fouls, stop doing whatever it is you're doing (even if you don't feel it's a fouling offense). e.g., know how to push the ball off the HP barrier if you're getting G40.

Know how to read the field, particularly for inbounding--e.g. if you want to throw over, bounce of the wall, floor roll it, run to the other side, what have you.

Know how to freak out appropriately if the pedestal won't light up.
