What is one of the key responsibilities of the DRIVE TEAM during a match?

One of the key responsibilities of the DRIVE TEAM during a match is to remain in their defined zones. This is crucial for maintaining safety and ensuring that the match runs smoothly. Each member of the DRIVE TEAM has specific roles and must stay within their designated areas to avoid interfering with the game or the other teams. By adhering to these boundaries, they help facilitate clear communication with the robot and ensure that the operations are carried out effectively.

Remaining in defined zones allows the DRIVE TEAM to concentrate on their tasks without distractions or the potential for miscommunication that could arise from moving around the field. This also reflects the rules and structure laid out in the FRC competition guidelines, which help enforce order during the very dynamic and often chaotic atmosphere of a match.
