Re: Driver Stress?
I would say that the most stressful time as a driver was last year at Great Lakes when we hadn't gotten to run any of the practice runs on thursday and to have to go out on friday morning to drive a robot, which I had never done before. Luckily I had some experience with driving a skid-steer loader at work, which uses joysticks like the robot did, so it was at least familiar. As for actually driving, I was really nervous up until the MC announced who the teams were, then I forgot to be nervous. I don't know if anybody else noticed this, but when I was driving, I couldn't even hear the crowd screaming at me (cheering or otherwise). It was fun, but I would still rather work on the robot than drive the robot.
