The engineers pick a qualifiing time and those advance to the next level. the next level is usuallly last years robot, with that one we run the same course but this time the two times are added together and we pick the top 3 drivers.

If you have tryouts, do all the members have the same opportunity to drive the robot before it? What about people who have driven the robot before, wouldn't they have an advantage over another person who hasn't driven it but has the potential to be the best driver if he/has got some practice? Just a few things to keep in mind because we ran into a problem similar to that.
