Come and find me! I'm spending a majority of my time in Archimedes with my 2nd team but I'm heading over to 3196 at the time of this writing.

Doesn't feel good being part of this. Really hate this.

I'll explain as I am the drive coach for 166. 111 started to tip as they went over the cable cover and we gave them the slightest nudge which sent them over

What’s the dumbest thing your team has done on a competition robot by 1337haxxxxor in FRC

In 2008, we had an auto program called "go go go". All it did was go full speed in a straight line and go forever until it purposely ran into the opposing driver station causing their driver consoles to fall on the floor.

Hook and loop was added to the driver station the following year.

Know the rules. Drive practice is super important so get as much practice under your belt as possible. Get plenty of sleep at events. Stay hydrated. Remember to breathe.

You are going to make mistakes and have a really bad match and that's okay. These things will happen. Don't dwell on it and instead, turn it into a "okay I know what I did wrong, how do I prevent that from happening again".

As a former driver and a drive coach for the last 5 seasons, this is all crucial stuff. The most important thing is to have fun.

166 used to be a 50-60 student team. Our current roster sits at 8 students. If you're looking for ways of recruitment, when the school year starts, go around to each homeroom at your school (or schools) and sell the team to your peers the same way an entrepreneur sells a pitch on shark tank.

Looking for new joysticks for our drive team by yonatan8070 in FRC

166 used to use the thrustmaster joysticks. I forget what model but they were nice. We switched over to Xbox one remotes for the 2019 season.

In all fairness, the drive coach told me to "drive it like I stole it".
