2) Listen to your coach! They know what their talking about, let them guide you in your desicion making on the field. Most of the time they see things that you don't
3)get to know your co-piolet and other drive team members really well. Your going to spend a lot of time with them and it's much better for everyone if you all get along.

All of this is the truth. I've seen some amazingly talented drive teams with spectacular robots fall to pieces because they were too stressed, or didn't get along and communicate well. More importantly I've seen drive teams that functioned like a well-oiled machine together and took less-than-perfect robots to places they never should have been able to go. I know it sounds corny and cliche, but when you work together you do much better.
