Pit Crews

[Ninjastahr]

For jobs we have:

Drive Team: Three members; the Human Player also does PR, the driver is a programmer and Team Captain, the button monkey (runs the xbox controller) and drive captain are probably the two most capable mechanical people on the team.

Pit Crew: One "battery manager," the two mechanical people from the drive team, and maybe one extra from the stands.

Programmers: One non-drive team programmer (me) and the drive team programmer.

Public Relations: Two people, so either or both can talk to judges (also helps with times when multiple teams are pit scouting our team)

Mentors: One to three mentors, depending on what's broken.

Other than that, our safety captain is also the button monkey (not much happens in the pit when the robot is in a match, mostly cleanup and PR)

EDIT:
Total number of people: 8-10

Battery manager is a big one...Our bot lost comms multiple times due to lack of people being in charge of the batteries

Drive Team does not hang out in the pit. No reason for us to be there getting in the way. We are either debriefing the past match, interfacing with our scouting team for the next match, talking strategy with other teams, watching matches in the stands, eating food, or hanging out by the practice field.
