Re: Driver Skill

Like everyone has said, drive fast and maneuver out of the way.
Don't waste time doing petty tasks. If your intake is having trouble picking up a ball in a corner (not really relevant to this years game) you should try and see if there is another ball that will be easier to pick up to save time.

If the robot is mecanum, one good practice maneuver for agility is circle strafing. In circle strafing, you strafe around an object. Although you may not use this exact move in comp, it helps with getting around other robots by strafing to the side. It also helps the driver develop more control over the robot.
