Help! What title would you give this role?

[lethc]

This is one of the most important roles on the team, especially this year. I'm happy to hear that your team has created a dedicated position for it. Good luck this season!

Given some of the footage from Palmetto thus far... Could I suggest "Flight Director"?

That is the best title by far. I now desire to be called that.

I would use the term Quality Control and Maintenance Officer.

Would be cool if you put one of those remove before flight ribbons on the bot. As soon as it came of the game floor and it doesn't leave the pit till you remove it

This is a great idea, I love it! We actually have a real one from an airplane that a mentor who works at Boeing brought in. This non-verbal communication between the pit crew and the drive team is perfect.

Glad I could help.

[TJolley]

I would call that: Maintenance Director or Maintenance Lead

If you want to draw a parallel to Auto Racing. That position would be called the Car Chief.

So maybe a title would be "Robot Chief" ?

In the Natural Gas Control Room where I work we have a Chief System Operator who has final say on any of the major operational issues.

On 1073, we call that the 'Inspection' taskgroup. They do a quick check of the robot once it gets back from a match, and then they pull in more people if necessary. They also help the robot leaving the pit, completing some of the tasks you specified, and other tasks relevant to the robot's setting on the field.
