Re: Adult coach?
To reiterate Andy's post, we do not have a mentor as the drive coach because it puts us in a better position to win. We have a mentor drive coach (an engineer, specifically) so the students can work side by side with the engineers. On our team, the students work side by side with the mentors during every phase of the FRC season: off season events, design, prototyping, build, Chariman's (although this is more student tilted than the rest of the stuff), practice, and competition. This works for us. Why should the side by side stop at the field entrance?
For us, it has nothing to do with winning but has everything to do with side by side coperation between professionals and students.
And yes, I yell (shout, whatever you want to call it) when behind the glass becasue you can't hear anything behind that Lexan shield.
