Re: Classic / Ultimate Drive Teams

I'll second the vote for Kyle Love. Ever since seeing them for the first time in St. Louis, I kept telling my scouters "man, I would just loovvve to drive a match with 45!" It's really too bad we didn't get more of a chance in Atlanta..

Also, 233's drive team from this year. With that funky arm setup, it would be easy for the driver to say "okay let me position it, you just let go" or the arm operator to say "you just get it close, I'll finish it." Watching them play, however, you can't tell who is the "dominant" member of the driving strategy. It truly functions like one fluid operation.

I'll admit.. I don't know very much else about the history of drive teams, this being my rookie year, but I'd like to throw out 217's driver from last year, Mike Ross. When he gets behind the joysticks, he really is one with the robot. He sees things out on the field as if he's sitting on the robot, and I can vouch firsthand for his defensive driving abilities dude knows what the game is about, and deserves to lay claim to a championship.
