Where is the analyst supposed to be?

Is the analyst located on the side with their alliance's coaches and drivers or on the other alliance's side of the field with the feeders? Please help us...no one on our team is sure about this

According to the manual(Rule G55),

"During the MATCH, TEAM members must stay within their assigned stations.The DRIVERS, COACH and ANALYST may travel anywhere within the ALLIANCE STATION. Exceptions will be allowed in cases involving TEAM member safety. Violation: PENALTY"

[zant1234]

Ya but we are unsure if "ALLIANCE STATIONS" can only refer to your alliances side.

There is a picture within the manual that shows what the alliance station is (in the section "The Arena").
The alliance station is the portion behind the drivers station, and does not include any part of the feeding stations.

[zant1234]

Sorry I wasn't very clear. We do not know which side the analyst is on because rule <G09> doesn't state which alliance station, red or blue, that the analyst is on.

[delsaner]

No worries, its all good.

<G12> TEAM members must remain within their assigned starting areas (COACH, DRIVERS, and
ANALYSTS must be in the ALLIANCE STATIONS and behind the STARTING LINE;
FEEDERS must be in the FEEDER STATIONS).

It sounds like the analysts are on the same side as the drivers and coaches. The blue alliance analyst is on the same side as the blue alliance drivers and coaches.

Right that's what I'm thinking but it seems like there is a chance for it to be the other way around because the rule isn't specific at all and because the game would make a lot more sense that way. Anyways thanks a ton guys.

While the rule isn't explicit, you can certainly infer where the ANALYST is. They're in the same ALLIANCE STATION as the DRIVERS and COACH. You wouldn't expect the DRIVERS to be allowed in the other STATION, would you?
