Re: WHEN to choose drive teams

We used to go by the stupid route of saying we will try them out when the robot is done and then in the end just appoint the 2 most important engineers on the team to drive.

The last few years we have done tryouts at an off-season event. I highly recommend this route, you can really see how people respond to pressure. We alternate every year which position we try out trying out only juniors and sophomores or freshman and sophomores depending on which part of the off-season in which the event takes place. While we tryout the new driver we have the driver entering his or her second year of driving draw along side all of the people trying out. The one pitfall is that you don't perform as well at off-season events.
