So if you liked driving in 2015 as much as or more than driving in other years, this job is worth some consideration.
I know this post reads as snarky, but I'm not joking. 2015 gameplay was more similar to operating heavy equipment than any other FRC game we've ever had. Staying focused, working quickly on a mundane repetitive task despite distractions, pressure to work faster vs pressure to not make costly mistakes.
