Well, on this topic I feel that World Competition is a great experience and it is great to have lots of people at world. A 40+ people cheering section is generally pretty good.

But if you're looking to cut down the "fat", then here are some tips.

1. Drivers(2)

2. Back-Up Drivers(2) - This is world. Take no chances

3. Coach(2) - One is backup

4. Human Player(2)- Each year the game has a 4th player often known as the human player. This year it was the Robocoach. One here is a back up.

5. Pit Crew(6) - This is so students can work in shifts of 3 people. This lets students have fun and keeps a nice schedule.

6. Scouting(2) - The reason the scouting team is small, is because at any given point, you have your back ups and half of your pit crew available to scout, it'll be great to use them to work.

7. Leadership(?) - If your leadership is not involved above. It's generally a good idea to take your leadership to world. It just helps to have authoritative figures around in a large competition environment.

There, that's around 16 people. And if you have a few other leadership, then you can assume around 18 people. If you want to cut it down EVEN MORE then take away some of the pit crew and replace them with the people who are in the back - up positions.

That should really cut down the number of people attending. But I think that World is an amazing experience and that the more people that are there, the better the experience.
