Being the drive coach

[Orion.DeYoe]

In addition to what Eric said, make sure you communicate with the other robo-coaches during the match! I can't explain how frustrating it is to need another robo-coach's help in coordinating a task and find that they are unwilling to communicate during the match.
One of the most important roles of the coach in the match is to call out the time remaining in the match every 10 seconds or so. Don't forget to do this!
Something else to remember (and make sure the drivers know this) is that the robo-coach is the leader of the drive team, not the driver. You make the decisions (not to say that you don't listen to the drivers or are in any way mean). The drivers need to know that there is a person standing behind them that is level-headed and will make good decisions during the match. It helps them to focus on their tasks better if they don't have to worry about strategy or what the next move is.
