Re: Driving Tips?
I'll second the post by QBranch: Drive like you stole it...here's why:
I'd rather see a driver make a mistake at full speed than to be tentative and just sit there. We've got bumpers on the robot and a pit crew who can make repairs. We're all behind a driver who tries to make the most out of those two minutes.
Oh, yeah: Listen to your coach (who's looking at the big picture of the match and communicating with alliance partners). Execute the coach's commands promptly and be ready to react to the next one.
Finally, take it all in and have fun. This is supposed to be exciting! If your heart is racing and you feel a little nervous, then you're on the right side of the alliance station wall!

I thought of this at least a couple of years ago, but I didn't post because I didn't want to give Dave any fiendish ideas. He has enough without our help. - ChrisH [more]
