Behind The Glass

[Racer26]

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.
