Being coach is a very important and ever-changing job. Coaches must be able to adapt their job to suit the needs of their drivers.

Generally a coach is responsible for:

  • Discussing strategy and robot placement for matches
  • Ensuring that our drive team understands our strategy match to match
  • Calling out time and score during matches
  • Being an extra set of eyes and ears for the drivers [you have to see what they can't]

This requires:

  • Volume: A coach must be easily heard over the crowd
  • Communication: You must be able to communicate with members of your team and other teams
  • Tact: Not everyone will embody gracious professionalism, you must be courteous even if they are not
  • Organization: You have to keep track of teams you are competing with, match times and queuing times
