Team 495 switched off between who got the mentor badges and the human player position. We always had one adult who helped us with most of the programming and electrical work, mostly for if there were serious problems to keep us from spazing out. Our drivers were always the same 2 people. I seemed to notice that most of the teams who had done exceptionally well at their regionals or had excellent robots let the drivers do the negotiating and strategery lol (thanx George W.). That seemed to be the most effective thing to do. Also most of these teams had no adults on the field with them. A lot can be said for these guys who use their own minds that know what the robot can actually do and what many engineers think should theoretically happen.
2 cents.
