This person is responsible for these things:

1. Field setup & debug
2. Field calibration (vision values, etc.)
3. Insuring that the field runs well during an event
4. Managing or fixing every possible problem that a field would have during an event
5. Leading the disassembly and packing of a field at the end of an event, until the crates are fully packed on the trailer

While doing these tasks, this person leads various people: setup and tear-down crews, scorekeepers, field supervisors, field reset coordinators. Last year, FIRST trained about 8 people to do this job. They are going to need more this year. If anyone is interested in being an FTA, feel free to PM me and I can forward you to the correct person at FIRST.
