Role of coach?

[chessking132]

As a driver it is important to me to have a coach that,

1. Stays clam at all times if a coach gets exited so will the drivers
2. Listens to the teams scouts and i able to work with them to get information
3. talk to other alliances and be able to model his robot to the other two teams
4. Think fast on his feet and make good half second decisions
5. Maintain a positive attitude to the drivers and the team
6. technical knowledge the know what to do if a robot breaks and how to use it to his advantage
7. Most importantly have fun and maintain a positive attitude

The coach that we had this year did all these things well and we had a great time at the competitions even when we were not doing so great. Some people think that is all the drivers but i believe that having a good coach is more important then a driver. You can have the best robot and good drivers but with out a good coach your not going to as well as you could.
