or
[[Safety glasses must be worn at all times in] [[the FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST Tech Challenge and Aerial Robotics] [pit areas]] and [the field areas on the Dome floor.]]

But I agree "implies" is a little too strong in my earlier post, so I'm editing it to say "may imply"
You may be right... Upon further review.... I think the better interpretation is that any OTHER field areas on the Dome floor don't need safety glasses... which would be FLL... I don't think that the FLL game tables at CMP have ever required safety glasses...

This would certainly imply that Aerial Robotics has field space on the Dome floor...

I think you may be correct in your original implication....

Of course I am just implying that from your original post...
