drivers and coaches are supposed to work together, not against each other, or over one another.
the final goal is to win and they must work to communicate. both parties need to know their tasks and both need to do their jobs accordingly.
if a coach was too uptight, then he is wrong. if a driver is too uptight, then he is wrong. both need to listen to each other and make good decisions.
ultimately, the decision has to end somewhere and someone has to make it. coaches have the experience and knowledge of the field, robot, constraints, etc. Drivers should as well, but leave it to the coaches to handle it.
In the long run, a team with great drivers who can drive the robot perfectly, and coaches who can strategize effectively, and a cooperative effort to communicate in the time you barely have...... it is a winning team.
