Picking Drivers?

Have an obstacle course that each student runs and whoever has the best time is the driver. If that driver is deemed uncommitted to the team, they are removed from the team and the next best person becomes driver. The only problem would be convincing the administration to have the assembly...

If we could pull it off though it would have the pleaseant side effect of raising schoolwide enthusiasm for FIRST.
