Second driver?

[RoBoTiCxLiNk]

I suggest to talk with your drivers and ask them what they want,

The thing is, is that this year we are holding "try-outs" for our drive team so that we can have the best drivers and hp doing their job. So I'm gonna have to get together with the main reliable teammates with highest probability of drive team so that we can discuss what the drivers roles will be.

That would work too, getting together the entire probable drive team and discussing playing style could also lend itself to being a strategy meeting, which I feel everyone on the team should be involved with.

A word of advice on this would be "get it done now". This happened to us last year and through trying to be fair and trying to find the right person for the job we ended up having our drivers picked after the robot was shipped. We built a second base to practice with, but this is an unacceptable action on our part. You need to give your drivers full time to practice and get comfortable with the robot. In one afternoon practicing with the robot and a test on the rules you can clearly see who the final candidates should be. Even if you don't pick the very best person for driver you can make them the best if you give them the practice they need. Also it's more of an incentive to re-read through the rules over and over for drivers once they are certain they will be driving.
