Re: The FIRST Devil's Dictionary

Primary Driver (n): Student driver that typically controls the movement of the robot. May or may not actually know what the buttons do.

Secondary Driver (n): Student driver that typically controls the movement of a manipulator or non-drive subsystem. Claims to know the buttons better than the primary driver, but most likely doesn't.

Human Player (n): The student on the drive team who typically introduces game pieces into the field. Usually decided by selecting the one student who earns the least amount of foul points for touching the wrong thing at the wrong time. Doesn't have to know any buttons.

Drive Coach (n): The only student/mentor on the drive team who actually knows all the buttons, but cannot, by the rules, use them, therefore resorting to yelling directions towards the primary and secondary drivers between communications with other teams during the match. See Conductor, Commander, or Dictator.

Match Strategy (n): The result of three drive coaches or other appointed strategists arguing in the queue about who is going to do what and how during the upcoming match.

Queue (n): Somewhere teams should be on time but are always late to.
