Re: Driver Skill

1. You gotta let your driver pick their own driving method, if you're like me and were on programming that's easy to achieve. Its needs to suit what they want to do, and how they want to do it.

2. Speaking from experience, your driver HAS to be comfortable driving as fast as your robot can go both forwards and backwards. In most cases driving backwards is a bit weird for most people, but in 2014 at least when you're dodging people you couldn't expect to only be driving forward if you wanted to actually get around people.

3. You're drive train has to be agile and controllable, give a bad drive train to a new driver and its not going to end well.
