Is there some minimum number of team members required to compete? Will teams be required to have separate drive teams and pit crews or is overlap required? Will teams be required to swap drivers/pit crews every, say, 6 hours or was this statement more of a suggestion?
I know 1511 is looking at this with interest, but probably couldn't bring enough of the team to make the necessary swaps. Maybe smaller teams can form an alliance and share robot driving responsibilities either with one robot or even swapping out the robot based on the drive team. Based on seeding for eliminations, you could have a rule that determines which teams' robot is used. (ex: if you are the higher seed, your opponent gets to pick the robot, if you are the lower seed, your alliance gets to pick the robot.)
