1) Completely performance based. We finish the machine before ship and hold trials for a day. Each driver pair that signs up gets one battery's worth of runtime to show their stuff in front of our scouting group.
2) Coach is determined by whomever has the most FIRST-hand experience. This year, we have our rockstar driver from all years 2006 and previous for our team.
3) We always have two drivers, though sometimes one doesn't do a whole lot due to automation (i.e. 2006 shooter bot). If there is a functional feature with any kind of complication level it's way too much for one person to handle.
