I would most likely keep one person driving. Some robots do use tank drive, meaning is you want to go left right or even straight, it would be very difficult to communicate. If you are using mecanum or swerve, I think that would also be an issue, for strafing would be very difficult to get the correct amount of force needed to strafe in the desired direction.
