: Hey Jason, I read your comment. I put kids on the field team in the position of coaches who CAN and DO run out there to fix things, and pick up flying parts. I have always thought that was part of the on-field coaches job, and coaches are picked accordingly. They are the ones who did the programming, the wiring and so on. They have to know the machine to be out there.

: I, however, wish I could be out there just to watch!!

Don't get me wrong I believe that the coaches/human players/drivers are very capable of fixing problems on the robot. But I think that it would possibly be a little less stressful if say someone were there to get tools and fix problems. It would just be a little less stressful on the people on stage. Our people on stage were capable of fixing things but like I said it would just be one less worry for the drivers. I believe they had a pit person at Rumble '99 and that person(me) helped with the minor problems that occurred.
