Re: What is more of an honor, Pit Crew or Drive Team?
I wouldn't say either is more of "an honor," but both are important parts of winning matches and championships. The drive team are certainly the most visible members of a team, and for some, that is the only place they really want to be. They want to be where the action is. To win championships, the drive team needs to have the motor skills, use good strategy, and maybe most important of all, they need to work well together.
The pit crew, if less visible, is equally important to a winning effort. On our team, the pit crew is who makes sure our robot is ready to go for the next match, with everything checked over and properly "reset." The pit crew also manages our battery charging and queuing. When you have a great pit crew, the drive team can be scouting, watching matches, and working out strategy with partners for the next match. They don't have to worry about the robot, because they know the pit crew will have it ready for the next match.
