For project presentation, everyone should be able to answer general questions. Specific questions about a fact in your presentation could be answered by the person who researched it. Judges like to see several people raising their hands or otherwise indicating they know something about the question.
I agree 1000%. (yeah, I know that's a bit much ) We have 1 builder, four programmers (including the builder) and three who worked on the project a lot. We also made sure to give them all several runs through the project presentation, including one where two mentors (myself included) acted as judges. We identified areas that needed improvement. We also made sure that everyone knew the correct answer to each question asked.
