Re: Drivers
In 2003, we only had one driver, and look where it got us, National Finals. It really depends on the robot and the driver though. If you have new driver/not to great a driver, it is obviously best to have two drivers out on the field. But in 2003, we had a 3 year driver out there doing the rounds by himself, flawlessy might i add.
A few things i can think of for not having 2 drivers:
1. Less communication for the coach to do.
2. Time between switching objectives can decrease.
3. Two coaches
4. (i have more, however i am drawing a big blank right now)
I know however, all my points can be countered, so it really just depends on the strength of the driver and the strength/diffuculty of the bot.
BTW-I personally think having 2 coaches can be very beneficial this year. You can have one talk to each alliance partner, and each can be watching separate tasks.
