Drivers with Epilepsy?
I am wondering if any team has had a driver with epilepsy? One of our potential drivers suffers from this condition. He is going to see his doctor to get an expert opinion, although I am unsure whether or not the doctor will completely understand the circumstances (it's tough to explain how high energy a FIRST competition gets). The student has put a lot of time in and deserves the opportunity to drive the robot, but I definitely do not want to sacrifice his health in any way. I hope that teams past experience can help us make this tough decision.

Thanks for the feedback!
