Personally, I think that the 'rule' is not the greatest, in fact some may say it's retarded. I really don't see why the rule exists. I am a driver and, i don't know about you, but i NEVER look at the audience, i always have my eyes on the robot, whether the real thing, or its image on the big screen, never other people. I also believe that if someone were on my team and they were REALLY excited about the match and got their adrenaline flowing that they might give a few hand signals, that would never be seen by the drive team but noticed by the refs, therefore DQing the team, unfortunatly, even though they would seldom help the driver anyway. If the driver did, have we ever heard of TEAMWORK, and if one team communicates w/ hand signals there would be nothing hindering another's ablility to give them just as well. So i don't see why its a problem.
