Re: One or Two Drivers??

We have always used two drivers. In our opinion, it is easier to have one person, the driver, operating the movement of the robot; while the other, the operator, operates all mechanisms. This spreads the workload over two people.

The pros of having one driver is that there doesn't have to be as much communication. If the controls are simple enough, one driver would suffice.

It's also better to get that extra member out there just for the experience of driving the robot. From my perspective, driving at competition is one of the best experiences I've had in my lifetime. It's an awesome feeling being able to compete, especially at worlds.
