Should technical mentors be allowed to help repair robots during finals?

At SBPLI - they never allow a pit crew to come in, but when our robot broke (the extension on the arm got stuck in a pulley), we kinda just pulled it over to the curtain so some of the mentors and I worked on that while other people worked on the end of the arm (which broke).

At Philly last year we were allowed to have a two member pit crew, but this year we didn't have any (though we didn't need any either).

I think its good to allow 2 or 3 in with the robot, afterall the drivers don't always know how to fix it. And the issue of adults, yes they should be allowed (perhaps say 1 adult and 1 or 2 kids though?) because they can often be calmer then students and kept the entire pit crew calmer (and safer).
