Re: Choosing Drivers
This is a quote from another post I made about a year ago, as lame as it sounds I do believe it. The driver needs to know every little quirk of the robot. As a driver I could do things with some of my bots that no one else could replicate, because I knew my bot. You need to know precisely what will happen.
"The driver must have a relationship with the robot, the driver should talk to the robot, speak soft encouraging words to it. Pet names are also a good idea. If the driver does not love the robot, how can the driver learn to trust the robot. The driver-robot relationship is one of love, if you love the robot, she/he will never fail you, she will go that little bit, the limits can be pushed, and she will take ya the distance that equals the amount of love you have for her. I can think of some of the greatest conversations I had with my robot, she never let me down. I loved that robot... It brought a tear to my eye when she was scrapped for parts... "
The driver should always be the one who turns the robot on and give it the last once over.
Oh and I hate video games...
