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

This year I looked specifically for the rule as I also saw it not being enforced and couldn't find it. Can anyone point me to where this is written?
I looked for rules on this during the Boilermaker Regional, but couldn't find anything on it. I couldn't understand at the time why we were only allowed to have the 4 member drive team on the field when other regionals had allowed pit crew memebers to join the team.

Another concern I had at the competition was who the Alliance Captain has to be. During drafting the referee told us that the only person who could call timeouts and substitutions was the alliance captain. If the representative the team chooses is not on the drive team shouldn't he or she be allowed into the queing area to speak to the referee? At Boilermaker they wouldn't even let the Alliance Captain into the field area without a badge. Again there is no rule on any of this. I think defined rules for next year would make the elimination process much easier and smoother.
