Re: pic: FRC Robots are the best mode of transportation!

I was the driver. I always made sure his hands were away from the chain, made sure we had constant communication, and made sure the e-stop was close by. This was done in front of a college-styled classroom (tiered seats and desks) so we had about 25 feet of room. The robot was also tethered with a shorter than usual ethernet, so we didn't have a lot of leeway to drive. All I did was drive forward 10 ft at about 1-3 fps. Stop. Drive backwards at the same rate. Stop. Repeat about 3 times. We didn't go down the hall at full speed or crash into the walls or anything to that vein. Skateboarding, bicycle riding, and four wheeling (all three very popular in my area) are way more dangerous than what we did. If anyone else has any more questions please ask away.
