And sometimes, the safety captain won't fit...

Spoiler for off-topic funny story about the above:

Being on a smallish team (~10 students) during high school, I was filling two jobs at competition in Atlanta; namely, safety captain and scout. Friday morning, the pit crew (drive team) sent me to the stands because scouts were needed. The joke's on them, though--I barely got there and scouted a match or so before the team leader, who was in the stands, got a call from the pit crew and sent me back. The safety judges were looking for me...and I wasn't there! I spent about half the competition in the pit after that.
