what we do to decide the drivers and stuff is we choose to driver teams...the one whos supposed to drive and a backup team...and to choose them we have several tests about the robot and kit of parts and stuff...how much time a person put into the bot is also factored in, for example, our driver this year is mike corliss who put in more hours then anyone else on the team...mostly people left at around 6 or so but at least one night per week he would stay till 11 or later even though he had school the next day
i like this system because drivers are chosen primarily though actual numbers. also people who put a lot of time and energy into the bot get rewarded

:
: Experience is key!! You're correct.

: Unfortunatly many times we have to ship the robot before any real driving practice takes place. The default ends up being 2 engin as coach since they've had more time with the bot.

: There's pros and cons here too:
: Since we now attend 2 regional + EPCOT, we have different set of drivers/hp for each event. This gets more students involved (a real big +), but the driver learning curves start near the beginning each event.

: Meanwhile, the coaches typically remain the same over the events and over the years...

: For now I like this approach, reaching more students and learning should be #1, winning #2. .....

:
: more food 4 thought,
: KA


: : From my experience at UTC and LongIsland as coach.. i found that is the EXPERIENCE of the person, and not who the person (student, engineer, parent) is that makes a difference.. experience knows how to walk and talk the ropes a little better most often... and they know how to excude a confidence in their ideas..
