Hi guys, quick question. Is it legal for us to have an eighth grade member on drive team? I have checked both the game and admin manual and cannot find any stipulations other than, "team member" when referring to drive team. Thanks in advance!

The definition of DRIVER is "a pre-college student...".

Re: Drive Team
 
the one position that began as an informal tradition about five years ago and is now almost a formal requirement is that the programming lead is the secondary driver. The reasoning behind this is that my coach wants to also have a programmer behind the glass, so he/she knows whats going on in the code if something goes wrong, and what better position to put him/her on than at control of all the safeties and overrides they built into it? I know that it's saved our butts on at least two counts, if not more.

But aside from that the human player is our manufacturing lead, and our main driver is our design and engineering lead, and our coach is an alumni/mentor.

For real though, that guy is noodle Jesus. Every time I saw him throw he made it. Absolutely absurd, heard the story behind his abilities and was very impressed.

Re: Drive Team
 
I use a weighted table to choose positions on the team. Some of the considerations are time spent during build, time spent on the team in general, skill level, teamwork skills and initiative, and results of a rules/game test.

Our drive team is made up of the three students who put in (by far) the most time and effort on the team. They are also the build leader (driver), main programmer (operator), and Chairman's/business lead (human player.) The two drivers are the team captains. They have the most invested in the robot and the team and its performance; they also know the most about it.
