know exactly what your robot can do. how does it turn? what path of travel does it take? the is very important. just like any other vehicle, you need to know what it is capable of.

dont be afraid, dont panic. but go all out, never hold back.

instinct. you need to know what is happening, and automatically know what to do.

last year, i actually got into a little zen during driving, dont laugh haha, but it worked. focus on what needs to be done, and one of the biggest things that helped me in defense alot last year, ANTICIPATE and (as my soccer coach said) keep your head on a swivel. see the field.

last thing. be confident. your driver for a reason. each match continue to prove it and be a beat.
