My team is diong this: Our route is stating "If you come to driver practice on this day, and get some stick time, you will be able to drive during the qualifiers as long as the robot isnt broken". However, we have less prospective drivers than you.
What I would suggest for you is to have 3 or 4 teams.
This way:
Two drive teams will drive in the eliminations: the main set of drivers (who are not allowed to drive during Qualifiers) and the best set of drivers out of the remaining 2 or 3.
Those other 2 or 3 drive teams will compete in the Qualifying Matches, for the match and for a chance to drive in the eliminations. It also becomes a small friendly competition at this point, and hopefully that will bring out the best in your drivers.
I am assuming that since you are the only returning driver, you will be on the best drive team, and thus will be able to tell the others on your drive team that they are not driving in Qualifiers. Just in case you aren't, it may be best to only tell your mentor this plan, and keep it a secret from the other drivers so they don't purposefully try to suck during practice, and suddenly do really well during Cal Games.
See you in a week!

Thanks beltsander! What we're trying out is very similar to what you said. I am on the drive team, getting the fastest run, but I also want the other drivers to get enough practice. Too many drive teams, and each drive team will get less participation time. 1 drive team doesn't let the others show what they can do. Depending on our opponent (or ally), we may not have just the other drive teams drive if they don't think they can take on the opponent *cough cough 254 cough cough*
