Re: Drive Team Configuration

This year, our "second driver" was much more of a coach than a driver. Most teams used their second drivers to control kick settings, however our robot did not need such adjustment.
The second driver's job was to keep track of the balls in the zone we were in. It proved very helpful when balls were just out of site behind the tower, bump, or up against the alliance wall. The human players acted as "coaches" sometimes too. It became very helpful for a front zone robot driver to have help from the human players. The human players were a "spotter" and could tell you if the ball went in the goal, or if you were lined up correctly.
