do the engineers from Ford or GM drive the race cars they build on the track? No - of course not

on our team we have always let anyone who wants to be a driver have practice time, either with previous robots, our practice robot, and with our current robot - then at some point we have a contest in one form or another, and SEE who can actually drive the machine the best.

Putting the most time and effort into the build phase of the project does not magiacally endow you with driving skills - in fact, people who have been busy practicing driving while you were busy building would most likely be better drivers.

We also had HP pratice this year, usually people had to leave build work they were doing to go get shooting practice - and they were the best shooters.

A team is where everyone has one thing they do best and performs that function - not where one or two people try to do everything themselves.



with this attitude you wont be winning any chairmans award this year :c(
Actually the ones that do the most work on the robot know what the robot is capable of. Also we are the best ones. We had some newer members try out but they were not good enough. And I'm just saying whats true.
