Re: Picking A Drive Team
It's actually nice that this topic came up. I was going to start a thread about a similar enough topic, that it would be wasteful to start a new thread.

I've attached our teams FDQT (FIRST Driver Qualification Test).

Every year, I write the new driver test, and this year I would like to share it with the CD community. I would also like to ask if others write tests like these. I also invite everyone to take the test! No notes or manuals open during the test, though! If you want the answer guide, just PM me. I may just post it on CD, once the build season is over.

I have been giving this a lot of thought, and Would like to submit to the CD community that there should be a community generated, standardized, FIRST exam generated every year. It would be nice to have collaborators, and the exam can be as extensive as we want it to be. But a resource like this could help rookie and veteran teams alike in the testing of their students, ensuring a proper understanding of the game rules and FIRST trivia in general. Any thoughts!?
