Wacky "Dumb Things To Try" Safety Video. Have Fun & Check it out!

[PamHansen]

We love the safety videos that all the teams put together, but wanted to create something a little more sassy. It wasn't entered as a safety video, so you won't see it anyplace but here. Let us know what you think.

We DARE you to watch and not have the tune stuck in your head! :p

From our team to yours...Enjoy and feel free to share!

Whoever sang the song can sing pretty well. Their voice has a Regina Spektor type of feel. Overall, it's a pretty good video. Nice work!

This is really cute, and REALLY well done. Thanks for sharing it! :D

(I must hang my head in shame!)

I forgot to mention that the "Tesla Lightning Guy" you see in the video is our new mascot Volt. We will have him with us in St Louis & Knoxville. He will be leading our chant... "Twenty-seven eighty-three, We are EOT!"

Nicely done. It made me smile. Thank you for you work and for sharing

Adorable video, love that the animation is in time with the music. And the singer has a lovely voice. Nice job!

If i were judging safety animations, this would win.

Counting how many of these happened during the one year I was on 2783 (2011)...

I counted 3:

-The loose battery: I remember being the fool who forgot to fasten the battery to one of the demo chassis (basic kitbot made for assembly demonstration). I (or somebody else) was trying it out, and the battery was lanched like a discus. No harm, no foul.

-The supermagnets. I won't give details here, but we used them for the minibot... and a certain mechanical student who for his sake (and my sake as we're college buddies still) shall be nameless had a ER trip or two due to mishandling. ::ouch::

-The locked door: that was more of a bad luck thing... but I remember having to circle the warehouse to find an unlocked door one day... we did find one, luckily.

Nice video!
