I think the best way to avoid this is keeping the students that have not worked on the robot and may not know as much in the stands doing other thing ex: scouting or cheering. I know for us we only had kids in the pit and with the robot that worked on and knew more about the robot. We have a team of close to 15 and only about 5 or 6 were in the pit.
