I personally think its better to have two drivers. It is helpful because they can each focus on their job, and it is less pressure on just one person.
This year we had a lot of different mechanisms on our robot, including a turret with a vision tracking system. I was the operator, and our driver and I were also driver and operator together with the same drive coach during an off-season event in China, so we had that advantage. We also had a very rigorous practice schedule, we meet every day at our practice field (50+ hrs/week) to practice as soon as our practice bot was ready. Over time, we came up with code words so we could communicate quickly during matches. One interesting feature we had was our driver's controller would vibrate while I was vision tracking, so he would know not to drive the robot while I was tracking the target.
