The two drivers this year were myself (a junior) on the drivetrain and my friend (a sophomore) on the elevator/manipulator. This is better than just giving it to seniors (who it was very clear were far worse than my friend and I, even they admitted it) particularly because now I have an extra year of practice and my friend will have two by the time he is a senior.

So, let's say next year you get a very dedicated freshman, there every day of the season, contributes to the best of his/her ability, knows the robot well, has lots of R/C experience and is clearly a very qualified driver. Are you willing to give that person a shot at driving?
It's easy to discount the seniority card when you don't have it, and very easy to use when you do.
