Re: Second driver?
I can't see many robots in FIRST history that would even work as effectively with a single driver. A few power dumpers in 2009, corner dumpers with constant intakes in 2006, pure rampbots in 07...
A second driver on a robot without a manipulator could be a second coach, doing the stuff like reading the clock aloud that's normally assigned to the real coach. That way the coach can focus on strategy and collaboration exclusively.
That being said, even if all you have is a base and a kicker, a second driver is probably better. Do it.

On a side note, I just realized you're from my team. Drop me a PM.
