Here's an interesting thought...
In the alliance station, each team is allowed to send 5 people: 2 drivers, 2 coaches, and 1 human player. The drivers and human player MUST be high school students, but the two coaches can be anyone from the team. If you have one adult coach and a high school student as a coach, can that student "trade-off" with their team's driver midway through a match? Is there a rule against this? For certain teams, this would make strategizing an even MORE perilous task.

Just my personal thoughts...

Well I think it is LEGAL but is it worth it?

We did that last year in a couple matches at WPI BattleCry, it is not worth it at all! It wastes precious time, especially in a game like this year, judqing by our practice matches at Nashua, you will need every second of your time to be able to get the tasks done and done well before what your time goal is. Switching drivers part way through will only take away time.
