Re: How do you select drivers?

Driver tests and obstacle courses can be useful, but we find it best to conduct most of our driver training during off season. Having new drivers practice with the bot rigorously helps them not only get experience, but also helps in finding out what mechanisms, motors, wires, tubing, etc... may have worn out so that we can replace them before off season competitions. After all the practice, we can more accurately see how drivers perform in actual matches at off season events, as well as them getting to see what a real match is like with five other robots.
