Tips for Driver Practice

[IronicDeadBird]

I already posted about this elsewhere but I will say it again since I don't feel like copy and pasting.

Start off by identifying your drive system and learning the advantages and disadvantages of that.
For example this year the team I am working with is using tank drive and while it is great for turning on a dime I also wanted drivers to be aware that tank drive also can handle gentle curves elegantly. For the most basic drivers I would have them do figure 8's inside a circle of cones and I would slowly make the circle smaller, while the more advanced drivers would get courses where it was incorporated into other obstacles like things that block vision to simulate what to do when you can't see your robot completely.

I am currently writing up a bunch of drive activities on a google drive if you are interested please contact me!
