	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.
