I know some teams have a strategy of picking two drivers their sophomore year and having them drive for 3 years together. I think the dynamic of the two drivers working together as a team for so long makes a strong robot even stronger. You can anticipate the others moves before they even happen.
In some ways though I think this is unfair because you would have to fall in the "lucky" year to be able to have a chance to drive. When I was in high school we had new driver tryouts every year.
I drove for 1 year. It was...interesting
