[Allison K]

Off the field

-Stay calm.
-Seek out alliance partners drive team (including coach) and create a plan for each match
-Debriefing after each match to talk about anything that went wrong (communication, the robot, etc.) so that we can fix it for the next match. (This was my first year as coach, so I found this particularily helpful, as we also got opinioins from our previous coach). We also talked about the things we think that went well, so we can try to duplicate them.

On the field

-Stay calm.
-Tell the drivers step by step what they need to do (Ex - Far auto loader the center goal, then far human player)
-Watch the other robots on the field
-Communicate with the other coaches (I always found this easier when we had a strategy meeting beforehand, because it was during that time that we figured out who was better with human loader or auto loader, and which ones which team would use, so that we didn't get in each others way)
