Re: People as Support Personnel in the Elims, How many is too many?
One of the problems with our hawaiian shirts is that everybody wants them. During eliminations, a lot of people wear our shirts and hang around our robot (including volunteers) and are mistaken to be on our team. We have a strict policy on our team where team members with media pass do not touch the robot or tools. Occasionally, if there is an emergency, they may help. An emergency may be something like the toolbox fell over and tools are all over the place. At that point, I think anyone around would help put the tools back in the toolbox regardless of who they are over there. If teams use the media pass/other teams driver badges/volunteer badges to try to be a part of a teams pit crew, then that is not right. I don't care if they want to hang around or be a part of the strategy meetings. That is perfectly fine. I also don't like the idea of having "rules" for everything. When something becomes an issue, it should be handled appropriately. We have enough rules for everything in FIRST.
