I have seen their robots, they aren't poorly designed and I won't tolerate a student driving our robot recklessly into walls or goofing off.

The argument of putting the student who knows more about the system but is the worse driver in the driver position to me is a poor choice. I would rather educate my better drivers on ALL areas of the robot and put the knowledgeable student in the human player position as long as he does his job well there.
