Timid Drivers

[thefro526]

I was told one thing when I was learning to drive way back when.

"A robot can always be fixed - but a match can never be replayed".

It was our Drive Team's Motto in 2007, 2008 and 2009 - anyone who saw me drive in 2009 knows I took it to heart.

Since then, I've told every on-season driver the same thing and have yet to have a problem with a timid driver. To be honest, I only select drivers that have some degree of natural aggression when behind the sticks. Not enough to lose their cool, but enough to put the robot where it needs to be without fear of getting the bumpers dirty. If someone proves that they're not up to putting the robot where it needs to be, they will not make the cut.
