Which teams have the best drivers?

[Josh Fritsch]

From what Ive seen over the years, experience is king. Those teams who have found someone that is a great driver their freshman year, and who can train them for four years will best most teams by the time they are a senior.

Like someone said, its not always the robot makes you perform exceptionally. Its the instinct and experience of knowing what to do in situations when your plan goes out the window. Playing smart is half the battle.

That said, Ive consistantly seen teams like 67 and 217 have some of the smartest driving year after year which Im sure has contributed to their success.

16, end of story.

111 deserves a drive team award

From what I've seen, ease of control scheme also plays a decent role in how well a driver performs. For instance, having presets for every peg level laid out in a user friendly way will make a great auxiliary driver even better.

That being said, 111's drivers are by far the best I've seen so far.

I would like to throw Swampthing's (Team 179) Driver in the list...

Hey 1717 was awesome at L.A. last week. I don't think I ever saw someone drive swerve so skillfully.

[Coach Tom]

The driver on the Mighty Monkey Wrenches (2016) -- makes the robot "sing". What's even better, he's only a sophomore.

Sorry to nominate myself but i think team 180 has pretty good drivers this year this first vid is my favorite because we scored that triangle using the jumbo tron when we couldn't see it.
