Go to Post we need a diverse team, and until we can welcome someone that's not a nerd, I don't think we're really successful in our recruiting. - JBotAlan [more]

Teams put a lot of emphasis on picking the right individuals to be on the drive team. Why would they not put similar priority on the very important role of Student Representative?

I have never waited on a text. I have even waited more time on a captain or two team alliance spending 5 minutes looking through a piece of paper to make a pick. This year at GSR there was an incident where an unprepared captain was told to put their phone away and then had to stare at the screen for both their first a second picks as they had no idea. Another thing is some teams don't prepare in their last few matches as the rankings are finalized and teams slip up into pick position.
Would this process have been faster if the person in question was able to call into the stands? I doubt it. Many chefs make muddled stew.

The alliance selection process is a linchpin of FIRST. Perhaps the most important thing that happens at any event. Everybody's eyes, whether they be from teammates, judges, current or prospective sponsors, are trained on the student reps. They should be clever and articulate enough to be able to make a decision by themselves. Anything else is embarassing.
