Coffee With Coaches - Connor McBride! | Drive Coach of Team 166 | EP 4

This episode features Connor McBride, Drive Coach and current 166 mentor, along with FUN Roundup Co-Host!. Team 166 has been in the upper echelon of teams in New England for many years now, and this year, at Worlds they ended up going to the Einstein field as the 4th robot on their alliance, alongside 1771, 3276, and 3478. Today we take a look into how they stay so consistent, as well as what a 4th team brings to an Alliance at the Worlds level, and what they contributed to their Curie Blue Banner!
