Experience is key!! You're correct.

Unfortunatly many times we have to ship the robot before any real driving practice takes place. The default ends up being 2 engin as coach since they've had more time with the bot.

There's pros and cons here too:
Since we now attend 2 regional + EPCOT, we have different set of drivers/hp for each event. This gets more students involved (a real big +), but the driver learning curves start near the beginning each event.

Meanwhile, the coaches typically remain the same over the events and over the years...

For now I like this approach, reaching more students and learning should be #1, winning #2. .....


more food 4 thought,

: From my experience at UTC and LongIsland as coach.. i found that is the EXPERIENCE of the person, and not who the person (student, engineer, parent) is that makes a difference.. experience knows how to walk and talk the ropes a little better most often... and they know how to excude a confidence in their ideas..
