Re: Not to Be a Total Stick in the Mud
You can actually work with your team in visiting the pits.

- Go in very small groups, taking turns with time limits. Then return to the stands or the meeting place. There are jobs like Scouting and Spirit that need attention. There are also jobs like helping with lunches and team errands.
- Have 2 people in charge of distributing giveaways go through the pits. That job can be swapped off with 2 more people, and so on.
- Tell the parents and guests of the team not to crowd around the pit and block the path of the robots, the Ambassadors, the Judges, and the FIRST folks.
- Each team can lend a hand with keeping the pits friendly, fun, and manageable by having a team plan and implementing it. No team needs to set up a party shop in the pits.
