Re: Behind The Glass

In 11 years of competing in FRC both as a student and mentor, I've been behind the glass for exactly two matches.

Both as the drive coach, and immediately decided I didn't like it. I can't separate my attention from my team's robot well enough to be an effective drive coach. Its a crummy angle for viewing the field (my favourite location is from fieldside as a field resetter), and there's too much to pay attention to (6 robots worth of action, plus a timer, and a score.)

I'm a much more effective team member sitting in the stands watching the matches as a lead scouter. Know your talents, people.

Re: Behind The Glass

I get total tunnel vision during a match, and only see our robot. That's probably in part because I'm always looking for things to improve, but I also get quite excited during the matches.

I'd be a lousy drive coach.
