In addition to a static element drills, assuming you have another drive base available, learn how to do those drills when someone is actively trying to prevent you from doing them. This year ball acquisition is going to be one of those characteristics that causes people to be on (or not be) on pick lists. The ability to "quickly" track down and intake a ball in traffic is a must.

I was talking my student coach this morning, we are both car people so we were discussing how static robot control drills are like driving autocross. You have a known course and you have a known vehicle and you drive it again and again to lower your lap time. You learn how far you can push that vehicle (robot) to get the most of what you have. While we can change the course as much as we want evening making a very technical and challenging course that will push our bot, driver, and software towards their limit, that only represents the limit of those three things operating in isolation not in a match.

Anthony had a good list of traits the only thing we don't consider on that list is Seniority. If the freshman out drives the seniors, sorry seniors he/she gets the sticks.
