862 drivers are selected by a 5 mentor panel who looks at several criteria, the first of which is a written test on the game rules & strategy. Next is a practical driving test (if the robot is done in time), we also look at meeting attendance, behavior at meetings, and interactions with the other potential drivers. We also select an alternate set of drivers just in case.
Copies of several years worth of Driver & Human Player written tests can be found in our
