team 177 did it based on many things. First, a quiz was issued to anyone who wanted to try out to be a driver, and this quiz was based on rules of the game. They also asked us a strategy question and a question on what we thought a driver's responsibility was. Next, we were also looked at for our commitment to the team and how many hours we've spent at robotics over the course of the build period. Then, we were given opportunities to practice driving the base and the arm. We did obstacle courses and had to complete tasks using robots from past years.
Once this phase was completed, 4 people were selected to continue on to the next phase. From there, we saw who worked well together, and who was good at communicating. Not only did we look at that, but we also looked at how well we were able to complete the tasks. Then we had a mentor come in who was a driver about 8 years ago, and he made a decision as to who should be driving with no bias opinions. Now he is one of our coaches, and is an awesome mentor.
Overall, i think this process worked really well. I mean, we did win the scrimmage, right?
