Re: Driver Selection: A Discussion

Our drivers are chosen based on several criteria. They have to have put in the time duing the building, so that they are very knowlegable about the robot and the programming. This gives them the insight to be able to quickly troubleshoot problems. They have to demonstrate their knowledge of the rules by taking a test, which minimizes the number of penalties against us. They have to have good driving abilities, often from practicing with robots or from experience with remote control airplanes and ground vehicles. Finally, they have to be able to handle the stress of driving, which is extremely difficult if everything isn't going well.

I hate it when parents come up to me and complain that their kid should be driving...
