FIRST doesn't regulate who is in the PITS - there are no badges or anything for that (except maybe the "Safety Captain" if they still do that). The drivers/HP/coach have buttons, and you won't be allowed in the Driver Station area without those buttons.

As long as the people in the pits have safety glasses on, FIRST doesn't care who is in the pits (but just be mindful of the space concerns in the pit).
