i know (from experience) how much pressure the drivers put on themselves. i know the thing that gets me all nervous before a match is if im going to perform well or not. it's in the back of my mind all the time in competition. i can't help but think, that if we lose a match, it's my fault. we (as many other teams ive seen) all have great robots, very capable of winning, so it seems like if it's not a technical problem, it's all driver error. despite all the encouragement i get from the instructors and team mates, i still get REAL nervous. giving drivers any MORE pressure will probably not help them out at all.
