Re: Driving Tips?
- Keep cool (literally and figuratively, keep hydrated)
- Think on your feet, have a reaction for everything that could happen on the field
- Know your robots limits, don't overdrive (no pun intended) and cause unneeded failures
- Take constructive criticism, listen to input from other drivers and team members
- Don't get a big head, your human, everyone else on your team is, don't act like your worth more then them
- If you break something on the robot, offer to help the pit crew fix it
- Be adaptive to different strategies, yours may not be the best
- Leave all biases on the field, when you come off the field be friendly, and not hold competitive grudges
