Re: Picking drive team?
This early in the season it really shouldn't have much to do with skill. Now is the time for people to take the old base and practice with it. If you have the facilities, or even just an afternoon at a local team's field, bring some prospective drivers down and do some training drills. Look less at their ability and more at how they handle themselves behind the glass and working in concert with others.
Anyone can learn to drive well, but not everyone can keep calm under pressure and make snap decisions. Find the people mature enough to do that and give them enough time and motivation to get to the top of FRC.
