Re: things to keep in mind while in the pits..
Post your team’s Match times, so you stay on schedule in the pits. A lot of teams use small white boards for this purpose.

Keep an area for programmers to work and plug-in (I keep finding tools and metal shavings on top of my laptop).

Assign a Pit Chief to be responsible for:
vKnowing where all tools and spare parts are stored and keeping them that way.
vMaintain a list of items to be purchased, supplies to replace, etc.
vTrack tools and parts borrowed from FIRST and other teams (the Pit Chief can write thank you notes in his or her spare time) and tools loaned to other teams .
