Training for Drive Coaches
Because of our team's philosophy, we've always had students in the role of drive coaches. Just like we have our drivers practice with the robot before the competition, I'd love to find a way to help drive coaches learn their role before the competition. Have any teams come up with methods for doing this?
One thing that comes to mind is for the coach to watch hours of video from matches at other regionals. Our first one happens to be a week one regional so that's not as helpful. Also, the typical video feed from regionals is mixed from multiple cameras whereas, from a coaches perspective, you'd like a constant view of the entire field.
This tread isn't meant to rehash the discussion of whether adults or students should be in this role. If that's your interest, there are many threads devoted to that topic. The focus here is once the coach is chosen, whether adult or student, how do you train them?

In the long run, you don't remember your ranking points, you remember the lessons and friendships from when you were on a robotics team in high school. - smurfgirl [more]
