Well the cheering team would be driving it. So most likely cheerleaders. We're planning on adding gearshifting in the code. So pretty much, 1st gear is 30% motor power, 2nd is 70% power, and 3rd is 100% power. We've done this in the past in competition. and the lower gears are extremely easy to control. The speed is mainly for getting the robot around the field in a timely fashion. Any kind of remot controlled device is going to take time to get used to, so they would hopefully practice.
