A Captian and Driver Issue

[commodoredl]

In team 578, the captain is generally a member of the team leadership. Usually the president or vice president. Drivers are chosen during the build season from any member after tryouts with the finished robot in week 6. This year we may hold tryouts for the "Driver" position as early as week 3 when the drive base is complete so that the driver may get extra time to practice.
When choosing drivers, we've asked people to get into pairs to try out. Good teamwork can be an important part of the drive team. They are given 3 minutes to go around the practice field with obstacles placed on it, scoring points as much as they can. Then the leadership evaluates everyone in a meeting based on skill and teamwork, and chooses the driving pair for competition.
