Re: Robot Driver?
Most people look at driving and just think you need skill to do it. Yes, skill is one of the most important parts of it but you also need a lot of other things.
1) Charisma - This is very important. People should be drawn to your driver's and be willing to have them as leaders.
2) Maturity - Driver's need to be mature and make good decisions both on and off the field.
3) Concentration and Drive - For me these two go hand in hand. You need to have the ability to go out to every match and do your best and not worry about the world around you. For those 2 minutes and 15 seconds all that exists are 6 robots, 6 trailers, and a field.
4) Confidence - Driver's like any athlete should be confident in both their abilities and the abilities of their robot.
Etc...
