Re: Have Any New Driver Advice?

Here are few tips that I would give...

1) Make sure you work with your operator and have a good relationship with him/her.
2) Listen to your coach. Make sure the drive team agrees on the strategy before going into the field for a match.
3) Don't get nervous, have fun while you are driving.


... good luck Dustin.

Re: Have Any New Driver Advice?

I know that this is going to sound weird (and don't sick your mom on me) but play video games or competitive sports for a few hours 2-3 days leading up to competitions. In addition to what Arefin listed, the ability to respond to something that happens in the blink of an eye is essential.

Re: Have Any New Driver Advice?

Know your robot, and more importantly, the symptoms that occur when something goes wrong. If a failure occurs on the field, it is often important to diagnose it (even if it's a vague one) during the match, so you know how to work around it and you can inform your alliance partners. The coach and human player will likely be busy doing other things, so this should mainly be a driver task.
