Re: Choosing Drivers

I doubt it. It's possible, yes, but there are a number of other factors.

In the racing games, can you race with a trailer? No? Well, then, that's a factor you have to take into account.

Your suggestion is pretty good. They should also play standing up with someone behind them telling them what to do. And if possible, leave the controller alone during the countdown to the start.

Or, better yet--as soon as you get a running robot that can tow a trailer, wear down its batteries as fast as you can by having the drivers train on it. That's the main thing here--the racing games are all on asphalt/concrete, and we're driving on a much slicker surface.

Also, if you have anyone who races R/C cars, they'll probably make a pretty good driver.
