This doesn't seem like a particularly useful situation. I'm sure that most teams try to keep all non-essential people out of the pits. But I know that when I have had people at competitions and I wanted to get them interested in FIRST, taking them to the pits is always what interests them the most.
And on a more basic level, I don't know how pit scouting would ever get done if we couldn't have people down there. Because our drivers and pit crew can only help with that if they have time, which isn't often at all.
