Re: People as Support Personnel in the Elims, How many is too many?
First off I can't really complain because I used my teams Media Pass to help out with strategy for 816 in Atlanta during the eliminations. But after hearing about teams having strategy sessions at regional tournaments with coaches of numerous different teams I saw nothing wrong with helping 816 because other model teams in FIRST were doing this.

But being behind the curtain in the playoffs it is very obvious that some teams have more than 8 members on the floor (More than the, 4 Drive team + 3 Pit + 1 media pass). If FIRST believes that this is a problem one easy fix is simply having teams work on their robots on the side of the fields in Atlanta (There is certainly enough space to do this).
