Re: Driver Stress?
last year, my third year on the team, my senior year was the first time i got to drive ina FIRST competition, but not the entire year. i took the role on the practice day at nationals. it took some time getting used too. it is stressful, especially the few seconds before taking control of the robot after autonomous. the one thing the drive team cannot do is hesitate. our coach in the booth is the one who makes the decisions and if they are right or wrong we follow them anyways. they are the ones who can see what is happening around the entire field and not just your robot. and the drivers cant let anything get to them. when a match started, i just tuned everything out except for the yelling coach. the round itself isnt stressful but the time before and after the match waiting for the scores are very stressful. but it is a learning process. if you make a mistake, see what went wrong and adjust for the next round.
drive the robot as if you stole it
