Re: What is more of an honor, Pit Crew or Drive Team?
I think both are equals like different teeth on the same gear, no one tooth is more important or honorable than another. An awesome drive team cannot operate a disfunctional robot and vice versa. It's like saying whos more important in a movie production, the crew or the actors? All you ever see in a movie are the actors, nothing more.

Last year we had the perfect combination of great driving with great pit work. During finals at Canada, our bot was literally torn apart in the first match. But in about the next 10 minutes, the pit guys were able to patch the bot together for the last match, in which our drive team did beautifully.

So I admire both groups equally and would be happy to be on either one.
