We have done this in the past - even putting one of our past drivers in at coach (he drove us to the #4 seed on curie in 2011) and it didn't work out any better than one of our students who had never driven before. In fact, we won a regional with our old human player at the coach position, and we lost horribly in quarterfinals with our old driver at coach.
I guess it falls down to personal preference. I know more than the rest of the team about the robot and the game. I wire and program the robot. Part of that is because the team consists of kids who have only been on the team for 2 years at most, while this is my 4th (I don't wanna graduate! I love driving!).
