Well, we were going to administer a written test, then do a little obstacle course, involving the ramp. It could have been a little biased, as our programmer did nearly all of the driving to calibrate controls, and test autonomous and such, with a few other people getting a few minutes here and there.

I say were because the drivers test was delayed due to a fried motor, and running design changes that changed how the bot handled completely, so we never got around to trying again.

One of the major factors this year was Attendance. You had to make at least 75% of the meetings of the teams you signed up for. This was to prevent a phenomena known as "miracle schedule". "Miracle Schedule" is when somebody's schedule is so full that they can't make a single meeting for 5 weeks (All really good excuses, of course), and then it "miraculously" clears for the last week so that they can come in, try out, then drive. We didn't appreciate that at all, so we drew up a set of rules that accounted for that.
