1) We always have 2 teams of 2 for driving the robot. One team is the 'A' team, and the other is the backup. 1 driver does the wheels, and the other does that years mechanism. (claw, kicker, etc.)
2) Give them practice by having them drive either last years bot, or put together a kitbot just for practice driving. This will be helpful later as well as a defense bot to practice against.
3) 5th gear is a good program for practicing.
4) The people you want as your drivers for competition aren't always the ones who are the best at driving the bot. You want somebody who is dependable, put in a fair amount of hours during build season, and most importantly, will listen to the drive coach.
Hope this helps, good luck this season!
