module 6 of 8
The drive team is where every other subteam's work either pays off or falls apart on the field. This module catalogs the real, recurring failures that cost matches - brownouts, communication drops, controller mishaps, scouting data you can't trust, and panic-driven turnarounds - and gives you a disciplined way to debug each one. Every section follows the same shape: the symptom you actually see, the most likely root causes, a step-by-step diagnostic workflow, and the concrete fix. The throughline is method over guessing: form a hypothesis, find the evidence (logs, charts, the Driver Station, the rule book), then change one thing. Drive teams that debug this way recover from disasters inside a tight pit turnaround; teams that guess lose the next match too.
Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting is module 6 of 8 in the Drive Team guide. It picks up where Worked Examples & Mini-Projects left off and hands over to Advanced Strategy & Case Studies. Its 5 lessons are about 110 minutes of the guide's ~15 hours.
