Pressure on Drive Team
How much pressure is an appropriate amount to put on your drive team? I ask this question of students, teachers, and mentors alike. How much pressure do different members of your team place on the drive team itself? Is it enough that at the end of competition they go home and are asleep by 8:30 and don't wake up until 15 hours later? Or is it so little that they hardly mind the outcome of a match as long as they have fun? Is there a "right" amount of pressure to put on a drive team? If a member of the drive team makes a critical mistake, at your first regional, should they be "fired" and replaced? Or should they be given time to relax and become more comfortable with the robot?
Please, don't argue with anyone's posts in this thread. A statement of how your team does things will be fine...there isn't a "right" answer...I am interested in seeing how others do it.
