Picking drive team?

Throughout the build, it's a good idea to let the drivers fool with the robot at every stage. If there are issues with the drivetrain, it's easier to fix them before it has lots of contraptions stacked on top it.
It's important to note, however, that the robot handles differently when weights and moments are added to the frame. So the robot won't be as agile in week 5 as it was in week 2.

Team. Communication is critical, as is trust. You need a nice, cohesive group that can communicate clearly with each other and with their alliance partners.
