Re: How do you select drivers?

Our team usually has the either the lead programmer and lead mechanic, or the two most senior/experienced members. We do the former because they are the ones who will generally fix things during testing, so if they can fix a part and test it over and over, they get driving experience just by taking the robot to a practice field for a few minutes at a time and driving around.
