i've always thought driver selection should be purely subjective... who's the best?

first, figure out what kind of things your bot will be doing in the match. (stack / knock down stacks / whatever)

then set up the field accordingly and have the drivers be timed doing the tasks.

for example: if you're a stacker bot, scatter some boxes on the field (your side and the other side, maybe?) and see how long it takes the driver to make 4 (or 3 or 5... whatever) stacks of 4 (or whatever). best time gets to be the driver.

or maybe this: if you're a defensive bot, create some stacks on your opponents side and have each driver knock those stacks down and put those boxes on your side of the field. again, best time wins.

for this, you need to have a limited number of candidates, cause if everyone on the team got to try, you'd be shipping some time in April... maybe let the parents choose a candidate, let the coaches choose one, and let the students choose one.

in my experience, merit based selection such as this if the fairest and most widely accepted by team members. good luck in choosing a driver!
