Re: Pit Crews

Our drive team usually stays around the pit (especially if they designed or fabricated key designs of the robot) but we realized that a good practice for the drive team is to debreif and talk about what went good and what went bad during the last match. They usually will take this short meeting elsewhere, thus freeing up space in the pit. We also have a 'talker' who answers any scouting questions so the people who maintain the robot are not distracted. Others swap throughout the day, cycling from those who organize the pit when the drive team is in que and those who fix the robot and swap bumpers. You can have many people do these jobs throughout the day in different cycles.
