One of team 1619's two human players was a freshman in high school this year, but a second year member of the team. Having a freshman is not any sort of disadvantage if you are picking your drive team based on ability and maturity rather than seniority. Our team uses a tryout system along with peer reviews (each candidate says who they think would be best for each role in a private setting with a mentor) to decide the drive team each year along with a minimum required rules competency.

This year's breakdown was as follows:
Driver: Senior
Backup Driver: Junior
Operator: Junior
Backup Operator: Senior
Human Players: Senior and Freshman (the senior is the backup operator)
