Re: Calling All Drivers

Hi there. I agree- the trailer is a great tool. It's one thing to have complete control of an unhitched bot and something much more magical to have complete control with a trailer. If you can do this, you can use the trailer to reverse right to where you want to be- this is both impressive and unexpected so you get the kudos and an easy attack. The driver needs to be conscious of the entire field but still rely on his/her coach. Most importantly though, stick to the strategy unless your coach demands otherwise.
