Re: Choosing Drivers
- Allow all students to at least try out.
- Have driver testing on multiple days (at least 3-5 days)
- Put them in realistic situations.
- Put other robots out there with them.
- Create criteria for fairly judging the drivers (obstacle course is a good one also)
- Implement a points system to fairly choose a driver.
- Keep the top 2-3 for practice day at your first regional
- Give each driver equal field time at the regional to see if they crack under pressure
- Have a finalized drive team by the end of Thursday at your first regional.
- Keep the other drivers ready to replace the main driver at any time. (we all get sick eventually)
