I didn't say JUST the driveteam members, as it was a response to another comment.
I agree that the whole team should know the rules well, as it may look bad when sponsors or anyone really comes up to a team member and asks what the game is about and they say... "eh, I don't know".... Our whole team takes a game test and must pass it.
Another Q/A:

Question:
Regarding the answer to this http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=125 it says if balls are in the center goal but not counted yet, the photoswitches will detect them and trigger a 5sec wait to allow balls to be counted.
I wanted to confirm if there is going to be a 5sec delay between periods regardless, because based on other answers, a ball in flight before the buzzer (period ending) will still be counted. If that ball is still in flight, and not in the center goal yet, it wouldn't be able to trigger the 5sec wait in order to be counted.
Can you clarify how balls in flight will still be counted when they finally get to the center goal?
Answer:
With the exception of the end of the autonomous period, there is no delay between game periods. Balls in flight when the period ends will be counted for the period.

I suppose I am confused on this? If there is no delay for counting balls, and your scoring zone turns off as the period changes, how will a ball in flight be counted, and who is going to keep track of that? Besides the fact that there was a Q/A referred to that says it will trigger a 5sec wait to count balls if it detects them in the center goal. Maybe they confused delay in match play, vs delay in scoring deactivation? Anyone help clarify?
