All-

I'm really not trying to yell or argue either...(sorry if it appeared that way)....I'm just relaying what my experience has been. Text is really a bad way to communicate at times...

If I were to run a team, so to speak, I'd have 1 Engineer as coach- one who really works with students well, but who is also very qualified (mentally) for the job, and 1 Student- either a lead mechanical or software or something....someone who has good background of robot and who can act in a GP way when dealing w/ other teams and their drive team......

I've always thought the best set of drivers/coaches you can have are ones that know what changing strategy 'on-the-fly' means and can do it. At least that's what was needed at times in years like 1996-2000. Those were some tough years.

Now that every bot is on the same team, it's not as super-critical to make changes on the fly ... you have a plan up front and execute as fast as you can.... yeah, glitches occur, but having no 'defense' to worry about really shifts the strategy paradigm....at least thats my current take on 2001.

Diabolical Dynamics...how fitting....

: I totally agree

: about my earlier comment

: the reason i came out with MY opinion on coaches and engineers strategizing is honestly we really have none...and im sure my opinion would be different if we did..

: i just know of alot of our local teams who have a similar situation (student lead) and i feel it works just as good

: sorry for saying one thing is better than the other...

: its just the way i live day to day without engineers hehe

: j/k

: thanks for listening to my ranting again
