Anyone have any thoughts on trying to encourage FIRST to bring back the dual coach role (it used to be 5 on a drive team: 2 drivers, 2 coaches, 1 Human Player)? I remember the thrill of being able to coach as a student, right next to one of my favorite High School Mentors. It was a great experience, because I got to coach AND I got to work with a mentor. It didnt take away from the student's role, and the mentor can more closely monitor how the student coach is performing under pressure and step in to help when needed, but also step back when the student has gained the confidence and experience needed to lead the drive team.

I don't know Kim.
That's an awful lot of people down in the alliance station.
We've always been big on enabling our students as much as possible and never once considered putting an adult coach in. I don't know whether or not it will lead to a date on Einstein but that's not why we are doing this in the first place. We're proud of what we have done no matter where we finish.
