The judges want to know if (at least) some of the student team members know anything about that machine that's playing on the field -- including the software.
For obvious reasons I think, it doesn't reflect well on the team if none of them do.
And it goes beyond the technical.
At one regional we attended, a judge came up into the bleachers and asked me (I am old and my team affiliation was apparent owing to the team T-shirt I was wearing) if I had picked our alliance partners for the eliminations.
I told her she'd have to talk to the captains about it because I had given it very little thought.
Somehow, I think that was the answer she was hoping for (and it was the truth).
