Re: Choosing Drivers

Being good at video games is a great skill to have if you're interested in being a driver in FRC, but I don't think it could test enough factors to be the best way to choose your driver(s). Driving tests with old robots or with at least the base of your new bot could show your skill, but you should also use a rule test to see how much they know about the game. Hard work/Determination, GP, and skill are probably the three factors our team looks at the most when picking a driver. If you have two drivers, then imo the most important skill is how much chemistry the drivers have, because when you have two skilled drivers you can't unlock their maximum potential until they work together like clockwork.
