Eyes at the opposite end of the field and hand signals was my idea too. I remember how difficult it was to see around the center rack last year. (So long ago...) That far hairpin turn could be a killer to see how close the robot is to other robots.
Plus still using the remote clicker, though I'm not sure how good that would coordinate with the second driver. The team in Driver station #1 is practically blind to the opposing Robocoach station. What kind of screen front do the Robocoach stations have? Can you actually see enough of someone from 54 feet away?

I remember a story about a joke writer for Bob Hope or someone of that era, who could quickly write jokes on cue cards for the on-stage comedian. He used this special ability while driving to tell other drivers exactly what he thought of them.
