Yeah, student members talking to judges is a must. Just have a plan ready before you go, practice q & a with "judges" before competition. There are many judges going around the pits, try to identify which judges are scouting each award. (don't ramble about the robot's mechanical features to a spirit award judge.
) Look and sound prepared. If a judge comes to your pit, two or three members should give them there full attention. We practiced the above and did alright.
