[Enigma's puzzle]

This year we are going to have one of our best mechanical people as axillary operator and the Lead programmer as driver. The programmer has easily spent the most time driving and early in the season showed the most capability and slid into the position by default of being the best person.

The lead programmer i believe will be able to better diagnose programming problems from that position on the field. In years past the driver always ended up being a mechanical person, but as we would come off the field they would explain what they wanted the programmers to do, And it didn't work well.

Where as on our team we have the coach (a student) do all of the scouting and strategy. The coach (formerly me) would then fill the drive team in with all of the relevant information in the cue line. we found this to be a good way to communicate the information and not take people away from there prior responsibilities.
