G6 states "Each team shall include up to three Drive Team Members. No Drive Team Member may fulfill this role for more than one Team in a given competition season." We have two of our three members not available for a tourament. From what I understand, another member from our organization (that is on another team not competing in the tournament) is not allowed to come to a tournament and coach our driver, but I wanted to make sure. Does this just apply to the driver? Or does this mean even the coaches. Thanks!

The definition of Drive Team Member is as follows:

Drive Team Member(s) - Up to three (3) Students who are allowed in the Alliance Station during a Match for each Team. Only Drive Team Members are allowed to touch the controls at any time during the Match or interact with the Robot as per <G9>. Adults are not allowed to be Drive Team Members. Per <G6>, Drive Team Members may only fulfill this role for one Team.

From a rules (G6) perspective, there is no difference between a Drive Team Member who touches the controls, and a Drive Team Member who coaches another Drive Team Member. Therefore, what you are describing would not be legal.
