That's actually an interesting method!!!...we usually keep quiet while students tryout - unless someone crashes or hits an obstacle...then everyone bursts out in laughter (well, a few of us panicked... )...

the guy who is driving and the guy who is "the Arm" should be grest friends, so they know what the other one wants to do.

The best trait is that only one person calls the shots. Wether its the driver, arm operator, or coach, it doesnt matter. One of you calls the shots during the match and dictates what happens.

Take a look at Team 365's (MOE) MOEmentum, FYI.

There's a spreadsheet link in the week 3 edition that outlines the key competition criteria that the MOE team uses when selecting a comp team.
