Re: seniority as a factor in drive team decision

I make my team go primarily by drive team experience.

As I have stated elsewhere in the thread linked by inkling16 , these are the requirements for our Team A drive team; Team B is less regulated:

Coach:
Must have prior field experience (Minimum 10 live matches)
-Can be Mentor or Student (if mentor is new, he/she must attend as coach during an off season event prior to regionals/districts/championships)
-Can act as a leader not only for our own team, but for alliance members as well
-Is willing to constantly consult the scouting director on match predictions and strategy suggestions
-Is able to adequately describe strategies to other teams through the use of strategy mats/boards

Driver:
Must have prior field experience (Minimum 5 live matches)
-Is able to control the drive system and other auxiliary systems and can maneuver/orient the robot to any direction/part of the field to fulfill strategic goals
-Is willing to work with the Coach to develop strategies
-Must be able to effectively communicate directions to the Co-Driver when needed, and can follow the directions given by the Co-Driver

Co-Driver
Must have prior field experience (Minimum 5 live matches)
-Is able to control the main scoring mechanism and other auxiliary systems and can use the scoring mechanism to increase point yield.
-Is willing to work with the Coach to develop strategies
-Must be able to effectively communicate directions to the Driver when needed, and can follow the directions given by the Driver.

Human Player
Prior field experience not required (Recommended 5 live matches)
-Is able to perform all necessary tasks as human player
-Is willing to work with the Coach to develop match strategies
-Must be able to effectively communicate directions verbally or symbolically (body language, hand gestures) to the rest of the drive team during a match, and must be able to interpret and execute verbal or symbolic directions given by the rest of the drive team.
