Championship Load-in

I hope there is more clarification on the load-in for the Championship.

Right now: Load-in starts at 3:00 pm, and between 3:00-5:00 pm, you can have at most 5 people in the pit to uncrate, prep, and inspect the robot.

1) Are you limited to 1 mentor? 2 mentors and 3 students?
2) With 300+ teams, that is quite a traffic jam at 3:00 pm.
3) Do the same 5 people in the pit count against the 5 allowed to load-in?

Seems like if FRC is encouraging getting the robot ready, the 5 in the pit should be separate from the 5 for the load-in. Otherwise, this is the situation:

i) 5 go in at 3:00 pm, while Driver waits in line.
ii) when van gets close to the front of the line, Driver calls down to the pit for the people to come out and unload.
iii) If pit team is delayed coming out (but they still stay within their 15 minutes), it does delay everyone behind them, and so on...

While possible, it makes more sense to allow 5 people to wait in line, and when it is the Team's turn they handle the load-in while the other 5 continue to work on the bot. I don't think the extra people (a few team actively unloading) materially increases the crowding.
