I also dislike the idea of two coaches. One coach is the brain of the team. He communicates with the other 2 coaches and his 2 drivers. The only thing another coach would do is cause confusion IMHO. If a only a single driver is required, have the second person available shout out time intervals.. or interpret the coaches directions to the driver. 2 thinking decision making coaches is bad. The strategy must come from one source period.I am not saying that a second person couldn't be used.. timing and robot alerts are great uses. But it is much much much easier when there are 2 drivers for a robot that has a manipulator of any kind. The drivers are just the hands on the floor implementing what the coach says.
Yeah! on the coaches thing they cant work together in one mind set.
