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.

see I seem to agree completly with you ~ but a few want that extra hand holding - which I'm not saying is bad.. because they will perform better.. but with everything going on.. it seems not being able to strategize is a HUGE problem~
My ideal sistuation would be to tell them where to go IE loading zone to pick up a tetra.. and where to place it after it is grabbed... because the strategy changes every second - but not tell them how to do so.. if a robot is impeding getting to a goal.. they should be able to get without "go left, go right, right again" or alteast in my opinion -- just like a sports coach doesn't tell a player how to shoot or throw a ball or whatnot during a game.. that is for practice.. right?
