Ask FIRST, first - and that is best to be done ahead of time.

The Pits will open at 6 PM and close at 9 PM. Teams will be allowed to work on their robots during this time. We have implemented this change to help teams be ready to go at 1 PM on Thursday when competition rounds begin. For full details: http://frcdirector.blogspot.com/2010...mpionship.html
