We also include how well the drivers work together and cooperate, because it's easier to master driving than teaching two ppl to work together.
When you chose is another whole thing!!! Our tryouts included about a week of practicing (probably around 4hrs for each team), and then 2 days of tryouts.
If you have a practice bot or even just a chassis (this year you could practice balancing with just a chassis) then you want to do it as soon as possible!

How did you make different "drive team" configurations? Did the students take it upon themselves to partner up with a friend to vie for the position? Were these (potential) partnerships designed by some higher authority?
