One of our solutions is the Drive Team test.

We are doing a two part test this year.

The first part is a take home test about robot design and constraints.
It gets the students to review the manual about the Robot and they learn on their own time at their leisure.
I will attach this.
Any comments and improvements would be appreciated.

The second part is a test of the tournament and game rules.
It includes the structure of the tournament, practice matches, surrogate robots, fouls, offensive and defensive strategy descriptions, and scoring scenarios.
i.e. Describe 4 autonomous scenarios where an Alliance scores the following points: 15, 33, 48, 75.

I will not attach this as this is the test that we will be giving our team in a sequestered environment to assess their knowledge of the game, ideas about strategy, their roles on the drive team, and their competence.

If you like the first test, PM me and I will send you the second one.

To qualify to be on the drives team on our team you have to take a written rules test.
There's really no excuse to not know the rules.
