Go to Post They see us come into school looking like zombies, and they know that some people start smelling like chain lube and such...but for the most part, they don't realize that for a lot of us, there is a deep commitment to our team that we do a very large amount of work for that team. - JakeGallagher [more]

Re: Driving Tips?

The only advice I was ever given before Driving was, "A robot can always be fixed but a match can never be replayed". Now I always go out with the attitude that sometimes you have to push it to the limits to do well and If you go back and know you didn't do your best then you will always wonder "what if".

Also another big thing is communicate with your scouts. I think anyone who has ever driven, coached, or negotiated will agree with me when I say at least once per regional you get that team who "can do everything amazingly" and then they get on the field and break, stink, or just don't move. You should always base strategies on scouting and what your other partners want to do. Example: just because I tell you that I can hurdle 10+ track balls in 2min doesn't mean I can, but if your scouts are also saying 10 then it's the truth, or your scouts will say "Dude that guy's a bit off it's more like 4 or 5 during a normal match"
