But if the drivers know that touching the loading bot is a penalty, the coach doesn't have to tell them not to hit it. Instead the coach only has to say "Now take the right isle down the field".
I don't mean to turn this into a discussion about how to coach, but I don't think the coach should be giving instructions that specific. Rather the coach should be saying things like "cap the far right", or "defense on 173, don't let them cap middle row".
