Don't do it. If you have an arm.. use 2 drivers. Don't say "if he screws up" either. This is supposed to be a fun thing... competitive yes, but fun. You don't want to swap drivers out in the middle of a match ever. If you split the driving up into two drivers they will do soo much better. I don't know how to say this other than the drivers are "dumb"...they have NO idea what is going on on the floor. They are concerned with the robot they are driving. The less thinking required to operate a task, such as cap a tetra, the less time it takes to do it. Two drivers is the way to go with a robot that has a manipulator that is used a lot.
