Re: Driver Stress?
I ended up being thrown in as the arm operator by default. We had a local TV station come by and a few teams demonstrated their robots. We had finished rebuilding the arm on thursday. I reprogrammed it to use the new stuff, so I was the only one who knew how it worked. They had me operate it "just for the news" and then decided I knew it well enough to operate us the rest of the time.
I'll say that I'm not that good of a driver. I don't have any special talent. The way I make sure I succeed is to never stop thinking. For those 2 minutes, I never let my brain phase out. I'm always thinking about my next move and what button I will have to push. It's exhausting, but it means I only screwed up and pressed the wrong button twice in twenty-two matches.
