It's not so surprising that this is the case though, is it? Drivers are often the students who put the most time and effort into the team and are most invested in it's success. They know what the robot is doing, what it should be doing and want/need to know what it's going to do in the next match. It stands to reason that they'll often be the most familiar and capable of servicing the robot.
It may or may not necessarily be ideal but, for a lot of teams, it's a reality and one you roll with. I don't think helping in the pits has nearly as big a negative impact on drivers as it's sometimes made out to. Driving isn't
that stressful, unless you make it so.
