I think that the only other driver that has statistics comparable to this is Brandon, the driver for 1114. These two drivers set the current standard in FIRST for driver ability.

Being a senior this year, we will not have him next year and we will have to depend on another talented student to fill his shoes....good luck!

Very true. You probably remember Shane, from 330. 9 wins, 4 finalists, 17 events, 4 years. Not having him behind the glass really hurt 330 this year, even with him training new drivers. (Pesky graduation!)

That's the thing about drivers. As soon as you find a good one, they go and graduate within a few years. So you are constantly looking, trying to find that one driver who can take you onwards and upwards. And then one who can beat that. And the best driver of the year might not be the best driver the next year.

I don't remember any outstanding drivers from this year myself, primarily because I was too busy watching the robots they controlled in action.
