As I understand it, all FIRST competitions are open to the public, so anyone can wander in, and even work on another team's robot in the pits. It happens all the time, and we even awarded our GP trophy last year based on one of our team member's hours spent working in a rookie team's pits. There are only a few specific functions which require someone to be a member of the team. Student drivers and HPs are definite cases, and while I haven't checked the rules specifically, I recall that questions and challenges, chairman's award presenters, and representatives in the alliance selection process are also required to be team members.
