Driver Skill

[DonRotolo]

Drivers should be able to do all the routine moves easily, with little thought: Stops, turns, go from "here to there" and stop precisely, line up with something (like the feeder stations last year), drive around a defender, and so on. The way to do that is practice, practice, practice.

One thing that's helpful is watching match footage and coming up with a good game plan. In a lot of matches you will see drivers waste time on the field because they can't decide whether to defend, score teleop points, or in past years at least, prep for endgame.

A good driver must be able to keep calm and never fall to pressure when on the field they must also be willing to admit they messed up and take responsibilities and learn from their mistakes. For practice our guys get the practice matches at the competitions and that is it.
