Re: Second driver?

We were just reviewing this today and I, as the drive coach, told the programmers were going to have our driver controlling the movement of the robot and the roller. All other functions go to our secondary driver, including our kickers pressure, firing, reset, and camera lock on features, as well as all end game specific operations. In almost everygame you don't always need a second driver, but by incorporating the other driver as much as you can you can help spread out the work load, so that the driver has the ability to focus on other features of the gameplay. Although the good things with having little for the secondary driver to do is that you can essentially add another drive coach to the field, but this one can touch the controls.
