For example with tank drive one thing I have drivers do is practice moving turns while a tank drive can turn on a dime with proper control you can do gentle curves just fine. The most basic level driver starts by doing figure 8's in a circle of cones without knocking over any cones while we make the circle smaller. The most advanced drivers get moving turns incorporated into courses where we do things like block vision to simulate another robot obstructing your vision.
I am currently writing up some drive activities for my team and if you are interested in seeing some of them please contact me.
I am very interested in seeing your drive activities if possible
