How do you select drivers?

Skill and experience on the robot from last season is useful, but both can be taught during build season if need be. Teaching these before build season is much preferable, but most students can practice on the sticks and become relatively skilled.

I wasn't clear. I meant whoever has good experience driving the robot that they just built. So, for this season, it would be the 2015 robot, not the Aerial Assist one.

You're probably right about work ethic too. We just want someone who knows how to drive the robot skillfully. I know we'll want people with good work ethic in our Pit, but I guess we shouldn't make assumptions.
