Re: How do you select drivers?

We try to have our driver carry over from year to year, since we use more or less the same drive base each year (tank drive with some game-specific modifications). When there's an open position on drive team (often human player, sometimes co-pilot and drive coach), anyone who wants to be considered needs to fill their desired role at one (preferably two) of our offseason events. We just picked our drive coach yesterday, so our driver and drive coach for 2015 are set. Once build season starts, we'll see who's interested in filling the co-pilot and human player roles. The drive coach and driver will take the lead in choosing who will make it to drive team, since they'll be the people who need to work together.

And of course, all of them need to know the rules inside and out and work well with other teams.
