Why is there this one exception?

I guess it is because drive team and pit crew are student positions but drive coach is 50/50. About half of the teams have student drive coach and half of the teams have adult mentors as drive coach. We are trying to encourage female students to participate in FIRST. We are not encouraging or discouraging adult participation.
We certainly would encourage a female mentor or student as drive coach but we don't want to make it too difficult for some teams to participate. We plan to have a female engineering mentor as drive coach for our team that day.
