Re: things to keep in mind while in the pits..

thats what we have, we have a "pit crew" as well. it is around 4-5 people like yours, I was, as I said earlier, the "pit boss" or pit chief. (and as a halo fan, it was turned into "Pit Master Chief"). Having a lot of people around is nice, but the pits are small, and having too many people can cause a serious problem. I've had it so crowded in the pits that I was seriously stepping and hopping over people while they leaned down so I get to a tool, or the robot. Thats when you know there are too many people in the pits. Last year we where very strict to as who could be in the pits. and it worked out good. I don't think we ever really ran into a problem of over crowding (at the regionals). We where less strict down at nationals, and again I was jumping and climbing over people to get to tools and other important things, because why everyone talked, me, Bryan (bryno tho rhino - sorry buddy, had to),my brother, and a few others where trying to fix and maintain the robot.

So, I'm gonna take a look at that NEMO thing, and get a general format down from it, then I'll begin. I'll keep you guys posted on how it comes out. I'll make sure to include who suggested what, and what team they are from. Keep the great ideas coming.
