The problem is there are usually reasons students are in the categories you listed. Usually its because the student who knows more about the system is more involved with the team/robot. I say usually, because based on my experience that is the case, this is obviously not universal. This is why I feel you need to have a fine balance of dedication, skill, knowledge etc. to be an effective driver.
