So I would say the robot they are driving has something to do with it too.
Great drive system=great drive team?

Easy to drive does not necessarily mean a good drive team. A good drive team will adapt to any robot given to them no matter the game or controls. But yes this is somewhat true in that it takes some of the load off the drivers. I myself was a driver for three years, its best to let the drivers pick what they want to use, and not just use something that you think will work for them.
