I have to say i agree with the idea of looking for people who solve problems well under pressure. I may not be the best driver on my team at all times, but when it comes down to a real competition i seem to handle the pressure better. Also people who know how the robot works are more capable of problem solving should you have a malfunction mid round. I know that when we had someone who didn't have a main role in the construction of the drive train and a motor blew he lost it because he couldn't understand the problem and no amount of video games will teach you how your robot works.
