I think that it is the coaches job to be "playing the game" I guess you could say. They need to be the ones that can formulate strategies on the fly while the drivers are doing something else. The coach should tell the drivers WHAT to do on the field, but not HOW to do it. The drivers need to be capable enough to know the limits of their robot. They need to know how to maneuverer around other robots and get into scoring position. This way the coach can be looking around the field deciding what to do next while the drivers are completing the current task. I found out that many coaches have a different approach to how they coach out on the field, but I think that a lot of it depends on the students and how they react to certain things.
