A coach needs to be someone who can give precise commands to the drivers, while not being dominating when the drivers do not require assistance. The amount of control needed varies from driver to driver. Before each match, the coach would meet with other alliance members to detail a strategy to win.
 It also important of the coach to communicate with the other alliance member's drivers or coach. This is important when the team needs to have a robot be moved out of the way so a goal can be scored or when something crucial happens to the team's robot and the team needs help. Examples of this could be when:

 *Robot is stuck
-When communicating with other alliance partners, the coach needs to be quick, specific, and influential. The coach can not be like "[monotone] hey guys our robot needs help". The coach should be like "[slight yell or yelling] guys come push us". It may not be needed to be very specific (i.e. - "team 1261" or "in the left corner of the goal on the blue alliance side behind 1262"). Often times, the alliance drivers can figure out exactly what is meant.

 ==Driver==
-The Driver is responsible for driving the robot during matches at competition. Driver must be able to work closely with the Manipulator Driver to successfully control the robot during the matches under the guidance of the Coach. Drive must also work closely with the mechanical and programming teams in order to know how to set up the robot at the beginning of each match for any one of our many autonomous programs. After the robot is set up, the driver had to work to complete a strategy with the alliance partners, but the whole drive team also had to think quickly if something did not go as planned. In these cases, the driver had to have back up plans so that the driver, manipulator, and human player would all be working together to complete the task that the coach had decided was the most appropriate strategy. Must be very quick in thinking and make on-the-spot decisions that will affect the possibility of the team scoring a point or whether or not the team wins the match.
