i have to agree with rabbit here just chill out and have some fun with the matches. your not going to lose your life if you mess up a match. I know starting out with your first year driving can be stressful but once you get use to your coach yelling and everyone else yelling then you are set. another thing is as a driver i have notice that i blank out during matches and just drive. i think i just become a tool of the coach and drive the robot how he says i should. that is the best thing. last thing i can say about driving or just a comment to get over the stress listen to some music get a catchy song in your head, and Don't think i say this is cause your mind play games with you saying lets do this or no lets do that. and that is when you lose control and you can't control your robot cause your mind is not made up. so just don't think about what you are going to do just drive let the coach think about what you are doing that is why we have coaches.

all drivers on the East Coast PM about our Drivers Union. or see me at NJ if you are going. stop by team 303 pit to get some info about the East Coast Drivers Union.
