Re: Drive team prep
If there is nothing that needs to be fixed on the robot, the drive team of 1619 acts as our "robot experts" who talk to judges (and anyone who will listen) about our robot. To this end we usually stay in the pits until the end of the day, with a break for lunch, to ensure there is always someone ready to talk to a judge if they were to approach us. The drivers are always with the robot during the competition, and are often the people who were most involved with it over the season, so it makes sense to have them talk to the judges for awards as well.
When possible we will use our time to relax (I usually check out chief Delphi during these down periods) in whatever way the individual feels like doing so. Some like to go button hunting, I prefer to sit down, and others will climb up to the stands to watch matches. We usually talk with each other for a good portion of the day, making jokes and discussing matches/strategy, so it ends up being a lot of fun.
