Our Drive Team
Our coaches have always been adults, because our leaders are experienced and we lack students who would want to fill that position.
In the past for team 74 there has been very little competition for the positions of driver(controls movement) and operator(controls the arms + claws,etc). However, this year, with many people trying for the positions it was very different. Our leaders narrowed it down to 6 ppl (4 for operator + driver, 2 for HP). However, this is as far as it went, so we ended up with a "static" drive team. I really dont feel it worked well at all, not because the drivers did bad or anything but because the one driver who eventually did drive could probably have been better with more practice time(even if not, it still would be a good idea) while time was given to the other candidates to try for driver.
My reccomendation is to decide early about who is to be your team's driver and operator and stick with it.
