Interesting question that probably should have been asked before the fantasy first draft for IRI (and should be asked for future off-season competitions), is your team driver from the 2004 season going to be driving durring IRI. Some teams let anybody drive. Some have their driver drive in the elims, and some have them drive the entire time.
Lets get some imput on what route your team will be going with your driver.
We will be using our 2004 driver at IRI, however in previous years we have used a differant driver.
Last year the majority of my team was given the chance to drive, however, this year our driver graduated and I believe we are going to stay mainly with one person in order to give her/him some practice for next year. This person has not been officially announced.
At last year’s IRI, we had a senior driver, so we let two new people try their hand at driving. Those two students eventually won our driver tryouts and became the pilot and copilot of the 2004 robot. Since they are both juniors, Team 48 will keep our 2004 drive team intact for IRI.
We have half of this years drive team, and 2 newbies. Should be fun because we will be switching things up and trying different combinations.
We will be sticking with the 2004 Drive Team, who has been driving for 3 years. It is my last hurrah, how sad, but no better place to go out than IRI!
Well, next year’s driver will be driving because our 2004 driver can’t make it, but I’ll still be operating and our 2004 Human Player will still be…well, human playing.
All I can say is that I can’t wait! :ahh:
