How Many Students Allowed on Floor

[Bob Steele]

You are right that the drive team has 4 members (driver,operator, coach and human player) They all get buttons and they are the only team members that can go on the field during play.

The pit has no such restrictions other than space. In fact, you will probably want some of your non-pit workers doing other things in the pit area like doing pit scouting or handing out buttons or helping with safety glass handouts or just visiting other pits and seeing what is happening.

You should schedule time for all of your team members to walk around in the pits and get to know the other teams. It is difficult getting to know anyone while in the stands so a great deal of interaction goes on in the pits.

Just remember to be safe, wear your safety glasses and proper shoes and clothing and watch out for robots. Many teams will be in a hurry and will want to get their robots to the field quickly so they have the right of way in the pit travel areas.

Good luck on we will see you on the field!!
