The 'catch', if you can call it one, is that it's just about impossible to get near the field without a driver badge. Strictly speaking only the drive team (including the human player and in some cases the safety captain) are allowed on the field to move the robot. Some volunteers might let it slide, others won't.
Realistically, you send one of your drivers/human player to the question box. That's probably fine 99% of the time, since they presumably know the rules and what happened during the match, but it does mean you're down a drive team member for moving the robot. In the past I've had the driver in charge of the controls hang back if I thought there might be a problem, while I the other driver and human player handle the robot.
