Looking at pits is one of my favorites things to do at a competition. Also, talking with team members who are excited about their pit area as a work area, gives the observer an idea of how the pit crew works together and what the team attitude is like.
All of that can be carefully managed with an efficiently organized/run pit. I've learned a lot from rookie teams, 2nd and 3rd year teams, as well as the older veteran teams, in how to run a smooth pit that meets the robot needs well and provides an opportunity for the general public to get a bird's eye view into the make-up/personality of the team.
If you search through some of the older threads here in CD, you will find photos and descriptions of pits that teams have generously posted in CD to share with all of us.
When you are at competitions this season, make it a point to tour the pits and look at all the different ideas. Teams love to talk about their team and their pit area.

This is an example of a thread that I found when I used the words, pit design, in my search.
