Re: On field Coach - Student or Adult

We always use a student coach, as we try to have things as student ran as possible. Also, we don't really have any strategy intensive mentors on the team, so its usually a Senior who takes up that roll.

This year, we considered changing to using an adult coach, mainly do to our robot, and possible safety issues with it. It was felt having a responsible adult with authority on DT could prevent a volunteer or other team member from getting hurt in the rare event they tried to handle our robot. In the end we went with a student coach, and had no issues what so ever.
