Re: A Captian and Driver Issue

We elect a Team President, VP, Treas, Secrtry, Eng Director, and Bus Director each year. They serve as the leadership team that meets weekly to run the team. In Jan/Feb they schedule both a "drive team test" (about the rules and "what if" scenarios - drivers, human player, and coach all take this) and an "actual driving tryout" for those who want to operate the robot or human player (very objective, video taped, timed, and scored). The written test is 40% weighted, the drive test is 40% weighted, and then there is a 20% weight based on a 3 person panel recommendation (consisting of at least one adult). It turns out to be a very fair process and only the absolutely committed students subject themselves to the process.

Sometimes the team president ends up the driver, other times not.

How's that for being complicated!!
