Do you have an adult coach or a student coach?
Team 538 has always had a student.
Why?
Because this program is build around young people learning real world experiences. And having to deal with other alliances is truly a real world experiences.
Do you feel it increases your ranking, winning, and success in matches?
I don’t think is matters. It just depends on strategy, drivers and the robots ability
Do you feel it enhances your team as a whole?
I think having a student coach seem to begin the team closer together. Because, the coach take suggestions from the whole team on what we should do during a match. But we have one rule if a drive makes a mistake during the match the team members are NOT to take opinion to that drive they are to go to the coach first. Because, the coach is one who make the decision on the field not the drivers.
Do you feel it enhances the accuracy, precision, and speed in driving and operation?
I think this depends on the ability of the robot and how well the team works together.
What downsides are there?
I agree with Rombus

Do you feel intimidated or persuaded by adult coaches on your alliance?
At time I feel intimidated because, the adults coaches sometime have attitudes, that I don’t know what I am doing because I am a student.
