Re: Coaching question
A good coach is actually playing the game, the drivers are just following his voice commands. See, the drivers need to concentrate on doing their job[handling tetras, playing defense] well. A good coach would direct every step of theirs[The What].
Ex.
"Auto loading zone, OK now cap the center goal, stop that team from capping our row"
He needs to watch out for everything on the field. Since the drivers are keeping an eye on the robot, he doesn't necessarily have to. He should probably watch for the rows being capped, and what the opponents are getting to.
Does it take experience? Yes. A rookie drive team, if well trained their first year will probably do amazing their second year. It takes some practice.
Make sure your voice is clear too. Keep cough drops handy. If the drivers don't hear you, they don't do what you say.
And the golden statement which has been said a million times on CD: Keep yourself calm no matter what. Learn to work under pressure. If not you lose control, and probably lose your match.
Good luck,
-Bharat
