Whenever I am at event I try to remind people of the rule that allows people to stay in the pits. Rarely is this ever abused to have entire teams crowding in their pits. People making lots of noise and things can be asked politely to quite down and they have always complied in my experience.

I truly believe that this needs to be set one way or the other. No one should have to guess how much time they are going to have to make a repair or get some tasks accomplished. Either we allow a few team members in the pit and hold events to that or officially close the pits and make it illegal for teams to be doing work. I really don't like the latter because it would be harder for me to get teams inspected but if anyone is allowed to work, everyone should be allowed to work. Isn't the whole point of our current bag system an attempt to keep build time equal yet event volunteers are allowed to decide which teams get more time to work on their robot. Again I understand why we do this and most teams won't complain for giving teams that need it more time to get through inspection, but it just seems simple enough to me to allow all teams to continue to work and put the best product on the field possible. Again within a reasonable limit.
