-Time Commitment to Team, it is very important that they be able to attend (nearly) all driving practice sessions and put in the time needed to learn the robot
-Athletecism, these students are up to the physical demands of drive team participation with little or no drop in performance throughout the day, preferably varsity athletes because they are used to being under pressure
-Calm, drivers must remain clam, professional, and level-headed in the heat of competition, we go so far as to incorporate this in training and driving drills
-Chemistry, above all else it is important that the drive team have a good chemistry with each other, otherwise it will fall apart. I relate a funny (in hindsight) story of when I was a driver my senior year of HS and the mentors thought it was a good idea to make my ex-girlfriend the co-driver... that wasn't the best drive team in the world.
-Focus, maturity, and time management are implicit requirements

To specifically answer OP's question: tryouts, one-on-one conversations with students, and general observations of their behavior and interactions are how drivers are selected.
I second this

Re: Driver Selection

Karthik actually put on a Google Hangouts a while back explaining what he and 114 do for choosing a drive team: https://youtu.be/ALASWt2uDqw?list=UU...YAO4NTA&t=2522
