UPS let me coach for IRI which allowed me to coach next to Raul one match. Maybe one day I'll be as good a coach as he is (assuming teams I'm on in the future let me coach).
In the meantime, I monologued about what it was like coaching here:

Its a lot of words, and I'm not sure that its terribly interesting. But for those who were curious, there it is.

Is that a digital camera on top of 1675?

Great picture Katie. Take a look at the concentration on both your faces. It looks pretty close to me. That is a sign of great things to come.

probobaly, we put a digital camera in the final stage of our lift for a couple of rounds. It kept turning off though and I couldnt figure out the battery saver settings.

Yup. We took an "PoV" video.
Its actually pretty cool to watch. Ignore the logo-piece mix-up (I'm sorry, 111/1640!).

It will be good practice for you for the season." So i had been human playing all season and for got what the rack was supposed to look like from behind the glass! Long story short i just put up white tubes and uber tubes that match.
EDIT: Plus i was very very nervous, because i had never really had more than 5min driving before.

I don't have nearly as cool a picture, but coaching with Raul was absolutely one of the highlights of my entire season. I definitely learned from it, though of course I wish we could have really contributed. (Or at least, you know, moved.)
We've got very similar coaching strategies. And yeah, I hope one day we'll be that good!

Katie, Having you as our coach was great. Any team would be lucky to have someone as calm and collected as you telling them what to do. Wish we had done better, but it was incredible to have such a great team.
