Re: Safety Concern at Waterloo Regional

Kara, the FIRST-built fields come with at least one ladder and a wheelchair ramp. I don't know if the FiM-built fields do; if not, it wouldn't hurt to build the ramp just in case. (I only know of a couple of cases where it's actually been used. Shouldn't be too hard to build just one and have the teams say "We would like to use it" a week or two before to make sure it gets into the trailer going to that event.) I've been up those ladders a time or two.

I wonder if FIRST was expecting people to do tower maintenance at a time when they'd have time to pull the tower down...
