Do the students pass around a memory stick?

Thanks for the nightmare fuel.
The thought of having multiple students on multiple computers fixing robot code DURING THE COMPETITION... *shudders*
All joking aside, I really don't see why that many people need to be fixing robot code during the competition. There really should be one or two people who know everything well enough to fix it. Heck. One or two people can develop most robot code on their own. It's a good idea to have two programmers on one laptop in a coding pair to fix bugs quicker, but more than that you end up having too many laptops and people in the pits.
