Go to Post Every single team in FRC has had a rookie season. All those... have stories. Some are sad, some are funny, some are inspiring - but all the teams have stories to be told... Each year is a chapter in the team's history book with stories to be told and shared. - JaneYoung [more]

Re: Choosing Drivers

Choosing a Driver isn't as easy as most think. First we find who is interested and then see how many of those interested are dedicated members. From there we test skill, game knowledge, and also we see how much experience they have.

One of the biggest things to remember is that Driving is not entirely about skill. It's about teamwork, so you may find a kid who's a complete ringer behind the sticks but if he can't work with his co-driver, HP and Coach then why have him on the field. Also it's good to look into who would be the best Drive Team rather than who will be the best Driver, Operator and HP.

Also, your Driver/Drive Team is who people see on the field. They're attitudes and actions tend to represent the whole team in a lot of cases. So if they walk out to the field with a bad attitude looking as if they just woke up that may not make your team look well or another team may remember that during alliance selections.
