Re: Calling All Drivers

Unless you're being hunted by another bot, just do what you do best. You don't always have time to consider what the other 5 bots are doing as the driver so stick to your strategy. Listen for your commander to tell you when to take evasive action and COMMUNICATE! Talk to your co-driver and encourage your commander to talk to your other alliance members during competition, especially during elimination rounds. We got shafted once by our own alliance member when they pinned us in the last 20 seconds by mistake. They weren't listening so they didn't hear us yelling at them to back up.
