Anyone with a real argument against a second coach, please speak.
OK To get things rolling onto the positive side

w/o me trying to bash the comments that were made

Question 1: what would the second coach be doing that the first coach hasn't already taken care of

Question 2: does this game really need that much of a strategy that 2 coaches are required to be on the field during a match

In 2001 Space was a BIG Concern only b/c it was 4 teams on one side per match, I think 2002 is when FIRST decided teams would be then placed diagnoally across from their opponents and it worked so well that FIRST kept it that way for 2003, In 2004 Teams were then placed directly across from one another and that worked well so FIRST kept it that way for 2005 and 2006 and I hope it stays like that through 2007 =)

Basically THERE Should be no reason to use space as an issue.

Back in 2002 when I was alternate driver for my old team - My teachers on the robotics team taught me one thing; during those 2 minutes the only communication your going to have w/ the drive squad is that 6th sense and that is you automatically know what your partner is going to do before they do it if you see them going for the goal you knew to be ready to fire that clamp and lock the goal in place till the match ended or unless told otherwise. During those 2 mintues you can't hear anyone standing behind you or even next to you, all you can do is watch the robots every move and be on your toes.
