Our team generally sends up two adult coaches in the early rounds to be able to check on any problems with the robot. We then scale it back to one and their primary purpose is to help set up the robot before the match. As the rounds progress we go to all student coaches. As an adult coach I feel my responsibilities are to make sure of the little things; is the robot turned on, do we all have buttons, etc and to relax the team. The drivers have enough confusion and stress without me shouting out instructions.

One other good thing about adult coaches... if things go wrong in the match, they can calmly explain
what happened to the other adults. This helps prevent the non-coaching adults from giving the student drivers the 3rd degree after the match.
