Re: Robot Driver?

We have a rules test that is setup by one of our mentors. In order to qualify to be a driver, operator, or human player (including backups), you have to pass the test with a certain grade. We also do "try outs" where we have to do a task such as the possible human players having to shoot into the goals while moving, stationary, and from different distances. This allows the drivers and the human players to get a better idea of what it is like and also see who is the best or find the people who stand out. One major thing is communication. Your drivers need to communicate with each other and the coach. You want your driver and operator to be able to talk to each other during the match and relay information back to the other and to the coach.
