True, but......If a driver knows the Robot well, they can better describe any faults or difficulties exhibited during a match.
A Chairman's award expert might make a better Pit Boss to interface with the judges when they stop by at random times in your pit. The judges don't actually get to watch many matches. They are very interested in a personal experience with the team where a student describes the extra work that they have done in their community promoting STEM and FIRST.
