Drive Team Question

So I thought I would pose this question here to find out what the community thinks about this topic.

During a lot of the events this year, I saw more teams than I usually do that only used one person to control their robot. This left one extra person on their drive team standing around (driver, coach, and human player are the other three). If I understand the rules right, this person would be considered a driver because a drive team needs 2 drivers, 1 human player, and 1 coach.

Some teams I saw using this person to put litter in RC's while the human player fed in the station. My question is: Is this allowed? To be more specific, is the driver allowed to put game pieces onto the field?

The reason I ask is because I've never seen this before in any game, and would like to know if it was addressed in the rules this year and if I missed it?

If there's no definite answer, would someone be able to ask this at the championship?
