Go to Post Incidentally, this is a good example of why lawyering the FIRST rules is good practice for the real world. By critically analyzing FIRST's errors, you practice for the day when you need to critically analyze legislators' errors (and deliberate trickery). - Tristan Lall [more]

To keep our drivers focused on the driving, and to avoid making them nervous, in the box coaches have the only word on what the robot is going to do. The coach decides, and tells the driver(s) what to do. If it doesn't work, the coach worries about what to do next. This way, there’s less tension; relative calm in the box. We decided to never use adult coaches in our second year, as it seems students kept their cool better under pressure (confident, experienced students), and executed more logical strategies as a result.

The student coach role rotates between 3 or so people, and all three participate in discussions with the other team. Having two coaches in the box would just be clutter for us... but maybe the other could... track score or something…

As one of the coaches, I've seen that drivers really appreciate having something taken off their already heavy backs during matches.
