G207      *Don’t abuse ARENA access. A team member (except DRIVERS, HUMAN PLAYERS, and COACHES) granted access to restricted areas in and around the ARENA (e.g. via TECHNICIAN button, event issued Media badges, etc.) may not assist or use signaling devices during the MATCH. Exceptions will be granted for inconsequential infractions and in cases concerning safety.

Violation: YELLOW CARD.

The TECHNICIAN’S role is to help the team prepare the ROBOT so it can perform at its full potential during a MATCH. The TECHNICIAN, except as described at the end of Section 6.2 DRIVE TEAM, is not an additional COACH, DRIVER, or HUMAN PLAYER.

Team members in open-access spectator seating areas are not considered to be in a restricted area and are not prevented from assisting or using signaling devices. See E102 for related details.
