Re: Traits of the Drivers, Coaches, and Human Players
you all have had excellent points so far, but i'd like to add just one more. make sure that your drivers know the robot inside and out. by this, i mean that they should know all of the limitations of, say, gearboxes, motors, electrical equipment, arms, and pneumatics systems. this knowledge will enable them to keep the robot running in optimal condition much longer than normal. it also comes in handy when something occurs on the field that causes damage to the robot; the drivers have the best view of the field of anyone on your team, so they can speed up pit repairs by helping to pinpoint the damage.
