Re: Drive Team Configuration

I am not going to judge on what one team does or does not do, but I will provide an example.

In 2009, we were grouped with teams 1051 and 1746 in the eliminations. During the semi-finals. We won the first match, and lost the second match. In the third match, I noticed the referee throw up a penalty flag in the middle of the match, but was surprised to see that no penalty was assessed in the score.

It wasn't until about 10 seconds later that we found out that our alliance had been disqualified because the coach on one of our teams touched the controls. The team in question ran three separate drive teams, and the coach on the drive team in during the match in question happened to be the driver in another drive team set, and when he noticed something wrong, his instincts took over and he reached in to adjust a potentiometer.

Now we don't blame this team at all, they performed extremely well and we were grateful for everything they did, but one can't help but think of what could've been.

Of course, I'm not against substituting a bad driver or a driver who seems to have a lot going on in his or her mind, but I do like consistency, especially when it comes to developing skills and general know hows of a robot and a game.

Anyways, enjoy the break, and here's to a good 2011 for everyone!!!
