This year our team has more members (~60) than we have total alumnae. So you could definitely say we've grown recently. But what we've done for pit has largely still worked.
Most important rule:
Only people on pit duty in the pit, not including drive team and mentors. We have few enough mentors, and the drive team is away enough, that this has never really been an issue. Safety captain enforces this.
Everyone has a cell phone; it's a requirement to be there.
The leaders make a pit, spirit, and media rotation, with shifts lasting roughly from one match until the next.
We have a pit captain, a safety captain, a batteries person, two pit crew members, an awards person, and a programming person on the schedule. All the roles except batteries and pit crew have a limited number of people qualified to do them, typically 2-3, so those people switch off.
We have people fill out a form saying what they want to do. Anyone who wants to gets at least one shift in pit. Everyone scouts, unless they have a really important role, like Chairman's presenter or drive team, or pit captain.
Most of the people not in the pit are scouting. Anyone who's not scouting is doing spirit or media.
This sounds like a lot of people in one pit, but
a) Not all the people are there all the time. Programming is just standby, and awards talks outside the pit, for example.
b) A lot of people fit in our pit.
I hope this helps you see what other teams do.
