We always have at least the two most experienced mechanics, the head programmer, and the head electrician in the pit. They're often easy to choose because they showed up the most and worked the hardest during the season to earn their titles.

This year we had eight mechs, two programmers, and two electricians. We don't usually have that many.

We also always have out safety captain (who in the past few years has always been an experienced mech).

Our drive team is usually made up of people who would already naturally be in the pit.

We also have two PR representatives, who do no work on the robot whatsoever, who hand out buttons, address the media, and so some judge talking. Handles the business aspect of the team. They head mech or programmer handles the engineering aspect.

Aside from this, we have a pit rotation. Every two hours, two scouts come down to the pit to do work. Usually everyone gets to work at least once or twice a day. All non-pit members are scouts. Whoever is chosen to be head scout usually opts out of the pit rotation.
