Re: Should technical mentors be allowed to help repair robots during finals?

Detroit allowed the swap out. It was pretty cool to see: The four on filed members (human player, arm operator, driver, and me) did a tag team/badge swap and let the three student/one mentor pit crew take over.

The drive team stood on the side and relaxed while the pit crew folks did their thing. We swapped back and everything kept on truckin'.

I remember just sitting back and watching the four pit crew people just crank through their checklist and come over to us and say, "she's all yours!" ... it was pretty cool.

Atlanta last year allowed one or two additional people. I wonder what they will come up with for this year.
