Re: Is it legal to change pit locations ?

At the Championship Event, being near a rookie team your mentoring in the pits is useful because the pit area is just so gigantic.

However, even if you don't get next to the team you are mentoring or are mentored by at a regional event, here are some suggestions for managing it:
  • Arrange with the rookie/mentor team ahead of time how you'll be able to help and what resources you have available
  • Let them know where your pit it is: a regional can be confusing, so they can know where to go
  • Assure them that all veteran teams in the pits will probably be able to help them if yours isn't available
  • To keep good contact and see how they're doing during the comp, you may want to send someone over occasionally to say hi or see how the robot is
  • Have fun. Let the team branch out. Introduce them to people who have helped you, so that they can create mroe connections at the regional level
  • Cheer, cheer, and then cheer some more!

A small distance shouldn't stop you from helping your team in the pits. It's a challenge to overcome, not a limitation to scare yourself about.
