It is not easy to be able to pick a driver for your team. Either someone has the goods or they do not. A driver will make or break how well your robot does. For example i do not think anyone else could have driven our 2003 robot better then steve. If it was not for his quick thinking and great handleing of the robot we would not have done as well as we did. This year was hard on us becasue we had to pick a new driver and train him not to over drive the robot. I strongly feel if you want someone that can handle the pressure of driving your driver needs to be picked the year before and have him or her drive all the time (mini comps) and durning demos to get used to driving at weird angles. The driver should know ever peice of the robot (does not mean he is the one fixing it) and hows it handles, kinda like your own personal car (ex: ac does not work you need a screw driver to open you car door)
DO NOT BE PC CORRECT 1 driver
. I know everone wants to drive but it does not work. Just look at football when there is a qb conterversy it divids a team and nothing gets done.
