Re: Drive Team

Last year, our drive team was composed of the following:

Driver: Team Secretary, Video and Graphics Lead
Manipulator: Head Programmer
Coach: President, Build Lead
Human Player: Vice President of Build

We had almost the same drive team in 2013, the coach from 2013 is currently one of our Vice Presidents of Public Relations. So there is quite a variety on the drive team. When I became the driver in 2013, I had been an active member, but I didn't know much about the mechanical aspects of the robot; I had mainly worked on graphics for the team (logo, font, shirt designs, etc). Because of this, I believe a good philosophy to have is see who is the best for the position, because you don't necessarily have to have built the robot to understand the most efficient way to drive it. In fact, sometimes it's helpful to have someone who hasn't had a ton of experience with the robot drive it because they will provide a different perspective.
