  1. Driver Selection Brad MillerAssociate Director, WPI Robotics Resource Center

  2. Travel Team • Who’s on the Travel Team • Two sets of drivers, operators, human players, and coach • Software experts • Electronics experts • Mechanical experts • Pit boss • Everyone necessary to operate and maintain the robot

  3. Qualities of the Team • Should be very knowledgeable about • The robot design and operation • The strategy and tactics • Even the drivers should have an understanding of the technology • When a system breaks during a match they understand what’s going on • Judges are always coming over and interviewing teams

  4. Selection Process • Selection based on • Participation • Technical knowledge • Game rules and tactical understanding • For drivers, operators, human players • Their ability to do their task • Evaluated by advisors (mentors)

  5. Participation • Team meeting attendance • Robot Demonstrations • Support hours • Operations hours • Not meeting the basic requirements is automatically disqualifying

  6. Technical Knowledge • Technical “interview” for all members • Autonomous strategies • Sensors • Mechanical design • Wiring • We assign a score to each team member

  7. Game Rules Test • Written test on the rules of the game • Game play • Penalties • Strategies • Must get 100% but test can be retaken until passed • Designed to make sure that everyone completely understands the game • Not passing is disqualifying

  8. Driver Selection • Need a way to evaluate the drivers, operators and human players ability to do their job • Important to be completely objective • Our method for all candidates • Drivers use a past years robot to navigate a course requiring similar skills as the current game • Evaluation is blind – judges don’t see who’s driving and score by number • Human player candidates demonstrate current years game skills

  9. Rollup All Results • Rank and resolve all drivers scores before getting names • Put together the following results • Drivers test rankings and scores 40% • Technical test rankings and scores 20% • Commitment (hours) – 15% • Subjective score from mentors – team values • Only subjective part of the evaluation 15% • We select the primary drive team, additional students, and mentors this way
