Brandon, that's true. However!

If I have a student who knows nothing about how the robot functions, just that it functions, but can drive well, and a student that knows how the robot functions, but doesn't have any driving experience even in practice (the proposed situation), they aren't nearly as interchangeable as they would be if the driver one knows even diagnostic functioning (i.e., "Pit Crew! This is happening, and it feels like it's in this place) and the other student knows some driving and has a few minutes of practice.

Hence the reason for the scenarios: To point out a few places where it's not desirable to be too specialized, or to only have one person as driver. It's something not a lot of teams really think about. But I've been on a team where at least a couple of those has happened--driver incapacitated, finals fix--and it's good to keep a backup plan in the back of your mind for X scenario (fill in your own X).
