I'd like to think that, regardless of whether your team members are pit crew, web team, or "cheerleaders" (really?), they should have at least a general knowledge of the robot. Obviously no one can know everyone about the robot, but I'm sure the judges wouldn't expect your web team to, say, describe exactly how you wired your electronics board.
