Wow, I'm kind of surprised by reading all these posts...our team's method is completely different. We just started doing things this way this year (in previous years the coach chose), but it's worked out really nicely so far.

At one of our weekly team meetings, all of us just take out a piece of paper and write down five names of field team members. The people who get the most votes are the field team. The coach and the engineers do not vote. Then, those five decide among themselves who is driving, who is coaching, and who is being the human player. This way, it is totally and completely a democratic team decision, and everyone's most satisfied this way. We don't do tryouts, but if we've had a base and people have been practicing with it, it helps when the five field team members are choosing among themselves.

At first, it may seem like this isn't a very reliable way to pick a field team. But actually, it works out really well. And maybe it's because our team is so close, but everyone wants what is best for the team. So they vote for the best choices, even though they may not necessarily be friends with them. Same goes for the way the 5 choose among themselves. It's all about what's best for the team.

Again, this may just have to do with our team's mentality and it may not work for every team. But when it does, I think you'll end up with a really good field team.
