Stress? hahah.. Last year I was the operator and the driver and I both slept while waiting for our next match (not really slept but you get the idea). We would walk around, go sit in the stands and then with about 20-30mins before the match we would go scout our opposition and talk to our alliance. There really is no stress, and I believe this was because we had a robot that rarely broke and when it did break it could be fixed with in 5 minutes. We knew our robot would perform and all we have to do is what we were good at. Even in the elimination rounds of The Championship Event and Battle Cry @ WPI and the finals of UCF, the Beantown Blitz, and Mayhem on the Merrimack there was really no stress, we were 100% confident.
The only time there was even a little stress (if you can call it that) is the first practice round of the year. Then after that its 100% stress free!
This might be because we were always too tired to be stressed out, but not to tired to win 3 of the 5 events we attended?
