Re: Who should be driver?

Our team

1) How does your team decide who drives?

we gave everyone a chance to drive but after close consideration we went with the two most talented and best cooperating duo.. Sam (arm operator) and JJ (driver).. these two drove our robot last year and we decided that it would be best to keep them because they have the experience... when choosing you need to find people who can keep cool and perform well under fire and think clearly when it gets down to those final seconds... (gets mighty tense and stressful during finals)


2) How does your team decide who is the "coach"? Do you have a mentor or student?

This year i was the "coach" last year i was the "human player". Last year our coach was our head advisor. I learned from him what i was supposed to do (scream out the times, stay out of the drivers way, communicate with the other alliance members, etc... I was first pick because i could best communicate with the other alliance members and our drivers...

3) Do you have one or two drivers? Why?

we choose two so that one person didnt have to stress under all the pressure that FIRST comps puts on a person... and because theyre great friends...
