Re: Robot Driver?
I've found that the single most important thing for a drive team to have is mutual respect. A drivers that respect each other will do infinity better. It is important to look at the drive team as a collective unit, not just the various positions individually. Along the same lines they need to have respect outwards towards other teams. If your drive team is not respectful of both alliance partners and opponents there will be issues.
Second in line is time to practice. Even someone who seems to be a bad driver at first can become good through practice. I think this is especially important this year on such a strange surface, and because the robots are essentially always moving.
Third in line for me would be motivation. An unmotivated driver will not find the willpower to push themselves and become better. They will not drive as hard as they can.
