To be completely honest, if you deserve it and are the best that's how it will pan out. Your mentors want to see other potential that could be used down on the field to win competitions at later dates. If not, then so be it dude. You have to prove to your coaches/mentors you want it by dictating the actions on the field. Also, you have to keep calm and maintain composure.
I believe that at off-season events, all kids should be granted the right to drive if they have completed a certain amount of practice first. Once 2 or 3 competitions have passed, then the agreement on a driver should be made.
Just drive better dude and you will get the spot.

While I am in the group of people who want to drive, it's not about me. My sole interest is towards the success of the team, and therefore think about 3 drive teams should be just fine. Since I am the only remaining driver from last year still on the team, I've been spending countless hours teaching the new people. The only problem is, we can't have EVERYONE drive, which is what my mentor wants. Some of them don't even want to drive. However, our team's goal this year is to be more effective, and work more efficiently, and currently IMO, a set of 3 drive teams would be perfect.
Plus, a majority of the team (most of which who are not driving) are new, and I really want them to start off the year excited with the new competition. While winning isn't important, being successful is. I feel a success at Cal Games will make them get more into the FIRST spirit, since right now they are kinda bored.
I'm truly sorry if I'm coming off as selfish, arrogant, or a person who only wants to win. I just want my team to be able to get started off on the right track. If any of you read The New Cool, you should know what I'm talking about.
