Re: Tackle that person with no safety glasses
 

As an inspector at GLR and MMR, I would not inspect a robot if anyone present (on the team) did not have safety glasses. (Boy, Am I strict or what?) At GLR we inspected in the pit so it was doubly important. At MMR it was crowded in the pits so glasses were absolutely needed. Bring your safeties for inspection at Nationals.

A reasonable safety rule. VOLUNTEERS who are having to enforce it. It's a none issue.
I was gently reminded twice in Annapolis. I wish the person that "borrowed" my special glasses in Annapolis would return them. I mean, who wants to be me? They have my name all over them ??!! I was fond of them...

At the Southern California Regional, I didn't nearly have the same amount of trouble as the starter of this thread. In fact, I had to wipe my eyes many times due to my glasses, and the safety patrol didn't come after me. We did have one student who was not wearing glasses for a moment before the announcement that they were required was made, and he was told to wear some, but that was our only incident. We had many aprents come to the pit area on saturday and no one was instructed to put on any safety glasses, although we had just finished our last match, that may have had something to do with it.

They do go overboard with the whole safety glasses thing. At AZ regional they were yelling at someone over the intercoms every five minutes.

Re: Tackle that person with no safety glasses
 

For those of you complaining about the safety glasses, is it because you don't want to have to wear safety glasses, or because you don't like the way the announcements and such were handled? If it's the latter, do you have any suggestions on how to make sure people wear the glasses, but not be so annoying?

Promise the team with the highest percentage safety glasses on, a brand new mill. Then get them a cookie cutter punch.

Perhaps I shouldn't have revealed the secret behind the mill so early...
