The only problem with this is that I can see a robotless team turning the pit area into a full display. Teams competing in the robot competition and also competing for the CA would not have that opportunity or free time.
Hopefully, robotless teams would make themselves available for help and support as stated but that's not necessarily the case. I do agree that they should be in the same area not in another area of the venue.
You want to be careful not to make this a caricature of the real deal but rather keep it the real deal. That will be a very fine line.
