Re: Calling All Drivers

im not a driver this year, but from experience of driving for the past 4 years I would say one of the most important things is to keep your cool. Getting frustrated when things arn't going your way only causes you to make mistakes, thus making you more frustrated.

from watching teams you could tell some drivers have bad tunnel vision. they get so locked onto one robot they miss the robot stopped in the corner a little ways away. This is solved mostly with practice.

when your alliance has a supercell you should "go fishing." you need to get your opponent to your corner so if u act as "bait" you may be able to "reel in" another team then when they get close you strike back pinning them into the corner making a easy shot for your HP.
