What must a team do to be counted present for a match?

To be counted present for a match in FRC, having a representative at the driver station is essential. This means that at least one member of the team must be at the designated area where the robot is controlled during the match. Their presence is crucial as it demonstrates that the team is prepared to participate in the competition. This representative is responsible for operating the robot and communicating with the drive team, ensuring that the team can engage in the match effectively.

The other options do not fulfill the requirement for being counted present in the match context. Completing a checklist, setting up the robot in the pit, or submitting a registration form are all important tasks for team preparation and compliance with event protocols, but they do not directly influence whether the team is officially counted as present during the match-time scenario. Presence at the driver station during a match is key for participation.
