Stress? STRESS? How about having nearly the whole team sick at a competition, with half of them out, now THATS stress.
(j/k VCU guys)
There are many things our guys do, including me, first is to have a plan, second is to chill out before the match (iPod shuffles really work nicely here) and then stay calm. You NEED to remember, from a competition stand point, that once you are behind the barrier with the bot on the other side on the floor, it's all chance. You can weigh the cards in your favor with a great auton, great robot, etc, but in the end it's chance, and unless you run away from the controls, nobody, I mean NOBODY can say it's your fault.
Respect is the key.
Now, as for the Chairmans away, well, hehe, that's a whole 'nother story.
