Re: Driver? or Drivers?

Sometimes two drivers makes it harder. Having one driver aim the robot while the other one shoots might be hard to coordinate without a lot of practice. If it doesn't make sense to separate the functions for your robot, don't do it. But you should still have 4 on your drive team. The second "driver" slot can help keep an eye on the whole field. They can warn of approaching robots, look for loose Frisbees, etc. You can use the slot to get rookie team members used to what kind of pressure they will face next year. You may have a member who can't drive, but can line up the robot for autonomous perfectly each time. Or the programmer might need to be out there to see what the driver means when they say that it "just doesn't work". You can rotate people through so they can have the experience of being on the field. Both "drivers" are not required to have controllers in their hands and be driving the robot.
