Personally, I love the idea (And I would love to be in the crew

)
I have a limited experience in FIRST, so Im not sure if this goes others idea of what a competition should be like, but it sounds awesome.
Also, if you just go to an event (Like you said), no one is going to deny your help if they actually need it. Making it like an actual voulinteer position, I dont know, because this does mean that FIRST has to find a spot for you to place this tools cart and plan for it. Do I think it would be a problem, no, but I dont follow what FIRST decides on a lot of time
Cool.
