If only there were videos from IRI last year...
33 in particular.
Here's a big thing. Use the restroom often. That urge to "have to go" comes up more often when you're nervous, and that's the last thing you want when you're driving.
Don't be afraid to drive it like you stole it, but don't be reckless to the point where you waste time correcting what you did wrong. There's a fine line that has to be balanced on for efficient driving.
If you feel you need some limitations to how fast the robot moves, tell your software crew that you'd like the robot to drive at 50%-75% power all the time unless you hold a trigger or button (provided you have buttons on your joysticks) to get the full 100% power. Balls roll, so that 50%-75% power might be valuable.
That's what I have.
