Re: Should a programmer be a driver too?
The arm driver when we won the championship in 07 was our lead programer, he also was the arm driver in 08. (graduated last year

This year our lead programmer is going to be the arm driver too... (new driver)
In some ways it helps to have a programmer as a driver because they can quickly diagnose problems that may come up in a match and be able to better fix the program because they experienced first hand what was wrong.

Just don't let them make the control board.
