Climate-challenged teams?

I haven't driven a robot, so I don't know for sure. But I don't think I would get very much feedback on sliding through the joysticks or by watching it slide. Certainly not compared to the feedback I get in a car on ice, through my hands, feet, butt and vision inside the vehicle. I don't think northern robot drivers will have a whole lot of an advantage.

But driving on slippery conditions in a car in the middle of winter, you can feel how the car is behaving, you can sense it. Drivers can't sense the reaction of the robot, they can only see what is happening, one less scent being used.
