Being the drive coach

[Nemo]

Your drivers have tunnel vision since they will be super focused on your team's robot. There is a lot of other stuff going on that they won't be aware of, so the coach should try to pay attention to those things: the score, the clock, and the other five robots. That is pretty challenging, because your instinct is to watch your own robot.

Sometimes the drivers won't give up on a task that isn't working. Your fans in the crowd will be asking "why don't they give up on that and do the other thing?" Drivers have a certain expectation of what is going to happen, and under the time crunch of an intense match they are often poor at changing tactics when things go differently than expected. The coach should try to have the presence of mind to recognize those situations and make adjustments.
