One or Two Drivers??

I've found in my experience that a little faith in your drive team partner can go a long way. Our team uses a few keywords to communicate. "Acquire" means we're going to go intake that ball. "Raise" means raise the arm. "Fire" means... fire.

I've found that most of the time I can just rely on my partner to do the right thing "on the spot" so long as we communicate about what our goals are. If we're stuck on the moat, for instance, and I we need to swing our arm in such a way that it shifts our CoG forward, a simple "we're stuck" will suffice, though usually I don't have to say anything in the first place.

The notion that making snap judgments on the spot is impossible with two drivers is a fallacy. (See 330 righting themselves on Einstein if you don't believe me)
