After getting a feel for the robot and controls, we set up anyone interested in driving with a 2:15 drill to simulate match time. Drivers rotate through the drill until we can determine 1 or 2 who are better suited as a drivers.
The key to this setup is to give each driver the same scenario. We accomplished that by pre-loading 2 balls (autonomous), placing 2 balls on the field near the key, and 2 more balls on the bridge. If the driver didn't attempt to gather balls from the bridge in the first 10-15 seconds those balls were removed from play. How each driver candidate handles each scenario factors into our decision on who will be the primary driver.
